Germany urged to release Al Jazeera journalist
Doha – 20/06/2015: Reacting to the news that Al Jazeera Arabic journalist Ahmed Mansour has been arrested in Germany under an Interpol notice at the behest of Egypt, the network's Acting Director General Mostefa Souag said:
"The
crackdown on journalists by Egyptian authorities is well
known. Our network, as the Arab world's most-watched, has
taken the brunt of this. Other countries must not allow
themselves to be tools of this media oppression, least of
all those that respect freedom of the media as does Germany.
Ahmed Mansour is one of the Arab world's most respected
journalists and must be released
immediately."
