تدين فيمينا الحكم الصادر في 27 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر بحق الصحفية لينا عطا الله، رئيسة تحرير «مدى مصر»، بتغريمها ثلاثة ملايين جنيه مصري، وإغلاق الموقع ومصادرة معداته، بتهمة إدارة موقع إلكتروني دون ترخيص.
وتتطلّب حماية الصحفيات ضمان حريتهن في التغطية الصحفية وقيادة المؤسسات الإعلامية دون ترهيب أو انتقام. تقف فيمينا في تضامن مع لينا عطا الله وفريق «مدى مصر». ونطالب بإلغاء الحكم، وإنهاء المضايقات القضائية، وضمان قدرة الموقع على مواصلة عمله بحرية.
Femena stands in solidarity with Lina Attalah and the Mada Masr team. We call for the ruling to be overturned, an end to judicial harassment, and guarantees that the outlet can continue operating freely.
