A court in Egypt has asked Interpol to issue arrest warrants for four Egyptian journalists working in Turkiye and hand them over to Egyptian authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interpol’s Red Notice system allows member states to request worldwide law enforcement to locate and arrest a person.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on Radio Islam International, journalist Dr James Dorsey said the four journalists were associated with a TV station with the Muslim brotherhood operating outside Istanbul.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dorsey said the Turkish government had initially asked the TV station to tone down their criticism, but the station decided it would leave Turkiye and move to London.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The arrest warrants come on the back of that, and it’s not clear whether those journalists are still in [Turkiye] or not,” said Dorsey.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Turkey is reviving its invasion of northern Syria, which started in 2019 but <\/span>halted under US pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“This time around, it is designed to create a 30 km buffer zone and push Syrian [Kurdish] further back from the Turkish border,” said Dorsey.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dorsey said a trial primarily involving people suspected of being associated with the Muslim brotherhood was denounced by Amnesty International and other human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They were 94 defendants; many got ten years sentences. What’s happened now is they have served their sentences, but their detention is being prolonged on national security grounds,” said Dorsey.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
