Dozens of journalists participated in a symbolic sit-in inside the Journalists Syndicate in Cairo, beginning at 3:00 PM today, following a call from the “Metrasdesh” platform yesterday. This action comes after the arrest of six members of the platform’s newsroom, following raids on their homes starting Monday evening. The location of their detention remains unknown. Originally scheduled to end at 5:00 PM, the sit-in was transitioned into an open-ended protest by members of the syndicate’s general assembly. The protesters are demanding the immediate release of the detained journalists from “Metrasdesh”. The protest is taking place at the Journalists Syndicate in Cairo, with ongoing calls for wider support and international attention to the case. The story initially appeared on Mada Masr.
