Photojournalists stage strike on Friday

Photojournalists staged a strike, protesting on the stairs of the Journalists' Syndicate and abstaining from covering Friday clashes, calling for measures to protect them while on duty.

The photojournalists division announced in a statement they would stage a strike in protest against the lack of protection measures necessary to cover clashes after journalist Mayada Ashraf was killed last week while covering Ain Shams clashes between protesters and security forces.
