Dr. Walaa Gad Al-Karim, president of the Partners for Transparency Foundation, said that the arrest of any journalist is not stipulated in the constitution, and there is also no article stipulating that in the laws organizing publishing, and therefore the scene of the Syndicate being stormed, to arrest journalists Amr Badr, editor-in-chief of Bawaba January, and Mahmoud El-Sakka, the press editor at the same portal, is incomprehensible.

In exclusive statements to "Vito", Jad Al-Karim confirmed that the storming of the Journalists Syndicate headquarters, on Sunday evening, is nothing but an aggression against freedom of opinion and expression, as it is a precedent in the history of the union, which had a prominent role in embracing the invasive movement, before and after the January revolution. That the storming has dangerous negative connotations, considering that the official who made the decision does not have any political sense
