FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The office was attacked by Egyptian undercover police in early May, just over two weeks before the country’s forthcoming presidential election.
Witnesses say plainclothes officers have confiscated the office’s cameras, editing stations, and its satellite transmission device.
The device, that is technically called an SNG, was used by Press TV English channel to cover Israel’s 2006 war in Gaza. The channel used the SNG to air hundreds of hours of live footage of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians.
The Press TV team in Cairo is pursuing legal options against the undercover police’s attack.
For many Egyptians, undercover police are remnants of the Hosni Mubarak regime. They are accused of having actively participated in Mubarak’s deadly crackdown on anti-regime protests last year.
More than 800 Egyptians were killed during last year’s revolution that toppled the pro-Western dictator.
The military council that took over after Mubarak’s fall has now launched a media crackdown ahead of the May 23 presidential election.
The council is responsible for the undercover police actions, including the killing of protesters and attacks on media offices.
Its agents have also attacked the offices of Iran’s Arabic-language television, Al-Alam.
People are now calling for the military rulers that took Mubarak’s place following the revolution to hand over power to a civilian government.
