The Egyptian Press Syndicate Forbids Al Badeel Reporters from Registration Al Badeel Reporters Go on a Sit-in Strike against the Council's Position The Situation Reveals the Continuous Abuses against the Right to Organize A number of Al Badeel reporters, a daily newspaper, have been on a sit-in strike in the Egyptian Press Syndicate headquarters. This action came against the background of the decision made by the syndicate's council forbidding Al Badeel reporters from registering their names in the syndicate's rolls. In their first press release, the reporters described the decision as a kind of revenge since they had backed the rival of the present chairman Makram Muhammad Ahmed in the latest elections. The problem has begun when about 40 Al Badeel reporters—most of them have worked for years in the press domain—had submitted applications for enrolling their names in the syndicate and received promises to be registered in April 2008.  التفاصيل »
