A group of journalists from the independent daily Ad-Dostour staged a sit-in Saturday at the Press Syndicate, protesting the refusal of the Press Syndicate Council to accept their membership applications during the review scheduled this Monday, citing bureaucratic reasons.
The journalists left the syndicate around 1am, and are expected to return again today, joined by their colleagues from Ad-Dostour (who are threatening to go on strike) and other publications in solidarity.
