Egypt editor given six-month sentence for Mubarak rumours
0 Comments | AFP, March, 2008
CAIRO (AFP) — Outspoken Egyptian editor Ibrahim Eissa was sentenced to six months in jail on Wednesday for writing rumours about President Hosni Mubarak's health, a justice official told AFP.
Eissa, editor-in-chief of Al-Dustur daily, was charged with spreading "false information ... damaging the public interest and national stability" and had faced up to three years in prison. He can appeal the sentence.
The charge stemmed from accusations that Eissa's reports on Mubarak's health last August led investors to pull their money out of Egypt.
