Editor-in-chief of prominent independent news site detained in Egypt

 

Egyptian security services on Sunday detained the editor-in-chief of prominent independent news outlet Mada Masr, its lawyer said, the latest in a crackdown against journalists.

 

Lina Attallah was arrested outside Cairo’s Tora prison as she was interviewing rights activist Laila Soueif, mother of jailed activist Alaa Abdel Fattah who recently began a hunger strike.

 

“The prison security guards asked Attallah to show her identification card and later called her in for an investigation that lasted three hours,” lawyer Hassan al-Azhari told AFP.

 

He said she was later taken a police station and was expected to appear before the prosecution Monday morning, adding the reason for her arrest and charges remained unclear.

White House hits out at ‘Deep State’ after Trump fires inspector general Steve Linick

The president and his allies regularly rail against a ‘Deep State’ of shadowy forces in an otherwise apolitical civil service they see as committed to undermining Trump

 

The White House hit back Sunday at fierce criticism over the firing of the State Department’s top watchdog, suggesting he was a disloyal member of a “Deep State” conspiracy out to get President Donald Trump.

Trump told the House of Representatives late Friday he planned to dismiss Steve Linick, the fourth inspector general to be ousted by the president in the last six weeks.

Democratic lawmakers said Linick had apparently opened an investigation into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, one of Trump’s most trusted aides.

The president and his allies regularly rail against a “Deep State” of shadowy forces in an otherwise apolitical civil service they see as committed to undermining Trump. There is no evidence that such a movement exists.

Asked by ABC about the latest dismissal, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro criticised “a lot of people” in the bureaucracy who “think they got elected president and not Donald J Trump”.

Nigeria Impounds Plane of UK Flair Aviation Over Coronavirus-Related Flights Ban Violation

 

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Nigerian authorities have impounded an aircraft of UK's Flair Aviation airline company over a violation of commercial flight ban introduced in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nigerian Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika said on Sunday.

 

"Flair Aviation, a UK company, was given approval for humanitarian operations but regrettably we caught them conducting commercial flights. This is callous! The craft is impounded, the crew being interrogated. There shall be a maximum penalty. Wrong time to try our resolve!" the minister said on Twitter.
