The Supreme State Security Prosecution has on Tuesday remanded journalists Farida Ali Ahmed and Samar Hassan Mahmoud in custody for 15 days pending investigations into their alleged affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood.
They were charged with joining a group that was founded illegally to disrupt the Constitution, assault personal freedoms, take funds from abroad, spread false news and statements to harm the national interest and promote terrorist ideas.
The journalists were arrested from their homes on February 11 for allegedly broadcasting false information on the Mekameleen satellite channel.
