According to a statement released following the meeting, representatives from Daily News Egypt, Al-Borsa, Moheet, Al-Mesryoon and Mada Masr were present. It was decided that a press conference will be held at the Press Syndicate at noon on Wednesday to discuss the impact and consequences of this censorship, the statement read. The attendees noted that all the blocked local media outlets have the required permits and licenses from the authorities and are officially accredited by the Higher Council of Journalism and the Press Syndicate, according to the statement. The management then said that a protest would be staged inside the Press Syndicate headquarters if the block has not been reversed by the beginning of next week, calling on all journalists to join them. In response, the blocked news outlets notified the Press Syndicate which then forwarded a memorandum to Egypt’s Higher Council of Media to investigate the crisis.
