Mission
Our purpose is to promote freedom of expression and media and human rights culture within local communities in the Middle East and North Africa. We support the independence of the media and providing a safe working environment for journalists and protect their economic and social rights. We aim to reduce rates of violations against media and expression freedoms, and we support the high professional and ethical standards of media through capacity building programs and technical support.

- Media and Human Rights Community received funding from the National Endowment for Democracy, an international donor funded by the United States Congress, to monitor press and media freedoms in Egypt. We monitored, documented and reported on 781 violations against journalists and media professionals in 2024. We documented 610 violations related to withholding payment from journalists, including a case where 200 journalists had their salaries withheld in one single press organization. We documented 74 violations of renewed pretrial detention against journalists with politicized criminal cases. Other noteworthy violations included arbitrary dismissals of journalists, arrests of journalists and media professionals, preventing media coverage, and physical assault and verbal threats against journalists by security officials, among others.Expenses $41,500 · grants $41,500

In addition, we published five other legal papers on the increasing cost of court fees and its negative impact on litigation and legal defense, pretrial detention as a tool to restrict freedom of expression, arbitrary dismissals of newspaper editors from the journalists syndicate, the cybercrime law and its restrictions on the freedom of information, and pretrial detention usage as a result of authorities refusing to adhere to the penal code. The legal research included monthly and quarterly legal reports and an annual report on our legal support and legal trends related to the media environment.
