The Guardian reported that Lina Attalah, the editor-in-chief of the independent Egyptian news outlet Mada Masr, was released after being briefly detained by authorities. According to the Guardian, a Cairo court convicted Attalah of managing a website without a licence, fined her, and ordered the outlet's website to be shut down. The Guardian said the case has prompted renewed international concern about press freedom in Egypt, amid warnings of an escalating clampdown on independent media.
