Damning report on Egypt's press 'freedom'

The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information has produced a damning report about the state of press freedom in Egypt. It claims that 2007 witnessed "serious turning points" in official repression, listing several major examples. It highlights the excessive use of libel charges against independent journalists and the way in which the government seeks to influence media output through control of the journalists' union.
