Title: "So called moderate" Egypt Punishes Reporters Who Interviewed Israeli
Post by: Irish Zionist on February 04, 2010, 10:31:31 AM

The Egyptian Journalists' Union has sanctioned two journalists who interviewed Israel's ambassador to Egypt, Shalom Cohen. Hussein Sarang, a veteran reporter, was suspended from his job for three months, and Hala Mustafa received a warning after interviewing Cohen in her office.

Israeli officials said that the sanctions were evidence that Egypt was "trying to erase the presence of Israel from the Egyptian consciousness."
