联合国人权高专办11月10日称埃及事实核查网站6名记者全员被拘：呼吁释放并停止骚扰记者
日内瓦 — 联合国人权事务高级专员办事处发言人塔明阿尔希坦 11 月 10 日在日内瓦表示，埃及当局对新闻自由的打压正在扩大。
阿尔希坦说，事实核查网站 Matsadaš 的 6 名记者已被拘留，他们构成该网站的整个编辑部，6 人为穆罕默德阿什拉夫阿布埃梅拉、阿卜杜拉卡德里、伊斯兰巴拉卡特、奥马尔希拉勒、穆罕默德马哈茂德与穆罕默德阿德尔。
他说，据这些记者的律师报告，他们遭受了酷刑与其他形式的虐待，并被迫录制虚假供述。
阿尔希坦还说，独立网络媒体 Mada Masr 主编莉娜阿塔拉因其新闻工作持续面临司法纠缠。她上月被埃及一家法院以经营无证网站定罪，被拘留后在缴纳罚款后获释，本周她在另一起可追溯至 2024 年的案件中还有一次庭审，这引发了对正当程序与公正审判的新关切，包括上诉受阻的问题。
人权高专呼吁埃及结束对记者与媒体机构的一切形式骚扰，尊重表达自由权，包括获取信息的权利。
高专办还呼吁埃及当局释放 Matsadaš 的全部记者，撤销因其正当新闻工作而提出的指控，并迅速调查一切酷刑、虐待或强迫供述的指称，将责任人绳之以法。
联合国信息服务处在同一简报会上说，秘书长曾在 11 月 2 日有罪不罚问题国际日指出，今年全球已有 34 名记者被杀，每 7 起此类谋杀中约 6 起未受惩罚。
UN Human Rights Office Says on November 10 That Six Journalists, the Entire Newsroom of Egyptian Fact Checking Site Matsadaš, Have Been Detained, and Calls for Their Release
Geneva — Thameen Al-Kheetan, speaking for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said in Geneva on November 10 that there were widening assaults on press freedom by Egyptian authorities.
Al-Kheetan said six journalists, forming the entire newsroom of the fact checking website Matsadaš, had been detained: Mohamed Ashraf Abu Emeira, Abdallah Qadry, Islam Barakat, Omar Helal, Mohamed Mahmoud and Mohamed Adel.
Their lawyers reported that they had been subjected to torture and other forms of ill-treatment, and forced to record fabricated confessions, he said.
Lina Attalah, chief editor of the independent online news outlet Mada Masr, also faced continuing judicial harassment related to her journalistic work, Al-Kheetan said. Convicted by an Egyptian court last month for operating an unlicensed website, Attalah had been detained and released following payment of a fine, and she faced another hearing this week in a different case dating back to 2024, which raised fresh concerns regarding due process and fair trial, including obstacles to appeal.
The High Commissioner called on Egypt to end all forms of harassment of journalists and media outlets, and to respect the right to freedom of expression, including the right to information.
The office also called on the authorities to release all Matsadaš reporters and drop charges arising from their legitimate journalistic work, and said all allegations of torture, ill-treatment or forced confessions must be promptly investigated and those responsible held to account.
The United Nations Information Service told the same briefing that on November 2, the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, the Secretary-General had highlighted that 34 journalists had been killed in the world this year, and that 6 out of every 7 such murders had gone unpunished.
