Dr. Walaa Gad Al-Karim, Director of Partners for Transparency, confirmed that there is a dangerous escalation on the part of the Ministry of the Interior and the Syndicate of Journalists, especially the left-wing members of the Syndicate, which has no need or justification at all at this critical time for everyone, pointing out that the loser in the end is a profession the press.
"Jad Al-Karim" added, in a special statement to "Citizen's Right," that the conflict and confrontation between the Ministry of Interior and the Syndicate of Journalists is like an unnecessary bone-breaking battle, stressing that the President of the Republic will not dismiss the Minister of Interior due to the Syndicate's pressure.
The human rights expert explained that the solution to the crisis is the formation of a fact-finding committee consisting of “Chairman of the Information Committee, Chairman of Parliament's Human Rights Committee, one of the sheikhs of the journalism profession nominated by the Syndicate’s Board of Directors, a judge nominated by the Supreme Judicial Council, and a member of the National Council for Human Rights.”
"Jad Al-Karim" added that the committee, when carrying out its work, must take into account Article 70 of the Journalists Syndicate Law, as well as the Penal Code, and that the committee's first goal should be to clarify whether the police entered the Journalists Syndicate within a legal framework or against the law.
And the human rights expert continued, that the committee announces what it has reached to the public opinion and submits its report to the Presidency and the House of Representatives. If the police’s entry is in a coalition, punitive measures are taken against the Minister of Interior and officials, but if it is not in violation, the blame is directed to the Press Syndicate and firm measures are taken with it. Causing the crisis and exacerbating it. The right of the citizen
