Mahalla bosses target workers and labor journalists

Posted on By 3arabawy

The Mahalla bosses are resuming their crackdown, not only on the factory workers, but also on labor journalists.

The state-appointed CEO of Ghazl el-Mahalla has filed a lawsuit against Ad-Dustour editor Ibrahim Eissa and the paper’s labor correspondents Mostafa Bassiouny, as well as worker leaders Tarek Amin and Gehad Taman, accusing them of libel and inciting the October 2008 factory protests.

The case will be looked into by a Mahalla court next Wednesday.

Mabrouk!
