9月30日——埃及警方逮捕了一家事实核查与调查媒体机构的六名记者，指控他们代表被禁的穆斯林兄弟会散布虚假信息，该机构对此予以否认。
Sept 30 - Egyptian police arrested six journalists from a fact-checking and investigative media outlet, accusing them of spreading misinformation on behalf of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, which the publication denied.
据为这些记者提供法律代理的埃及个人权利倡议组织（EIPR）称，此次被捕者包括自2018年开始运营的数字平台“Matsaddash”的整个编辑部。
The arrests comprised the entire newsroom of Matsaddash, a digital platform that has operated since 2018, according to the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR), which is providing the journalists with legal representation.
据EIPR称，便衣安全人员于周一晚间开始突袭这些记者的住所并没收了电子设备。
According to the EIPR, plainclothes security personnel had started raiding the journalists' homes on Monday evening and confiscated electronic devices.
内政部在披露逮捕行动的声明中指控该网站在境外管理，是“恐怖组织穆斯林兄弟会媒体机构的一部分”，并得到了国内兄弟会“成员”的协助。Matsaddash否认与兄弟会有任何关联。
In a statement disclosing the arrests, the interior ministry accused the site of being managed from abroad as "part of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood’s media apparatus" with the help of Brotherhood "elements" inside the country. Matsaddash denied that it was affiliated with the Brotherhood.
该机构在一份声明中指出，他们曾发布报告纠正所谓由兄弟会附属媒体散布的虚假信息。
In a statement it pointed to reports that it had issued correcting what it described as misinformation published by Brotherhood-affiliated media outlets.
埃及于2013年取缔了穆斯林兄弟会并将其定性为恐怖组织，同年军方推翻了民选的兄弟会成员、总统穆罕默德·穆尔西。
Egypt banned the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group in 2013, the year the army overthrew President Mohamed Mursi, a Brotherhood member who was democratically elected.
埃及记者和活动人士经常因散布虚假新闻和谣言的指控被捕，许多独立媒体表示在限制性条件下难以运营。据保护记者委员会统计，目前有19名记者在埃及被拘留。
Egyptian journalists and activists have frequently been arrested on charges of spreading false news and rumours, and many independent outlets say they struggle to operate under restrictive conditions. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 19 journalists are currently detained in Egypt.
