Egypt bans ‘Eye on Democracy’ taping

(Daily News)

Egyptian authorities prevented Alhurra satellite channel from taping two editions of its “Eye on Democracy” program, the Arab Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) said Thursday. According to ANHRI’s statement, the taping was banned only a few hours before shooting was meant to commence, and despite Alhurra having secured permission to tape the programs four weeks in advance.
