Guardian's Cairo correspondent Ruth Michaelson has been forced by Egyptain authorities to leave the country following her COVID-19 reporting. Her press accreditation has also been revoked, which now prevents her from working in the country. This arbitrary move by the government in Egypt is unacceptable. The Coalition For Women In Journalism demands authorities in Cairo to reconsider their decision and allow Ruth to work freely.

The Coalition For Women In Journalism is devastated to learn about Egyptian journalist Rehab Badr’s passing. We extend our condolences to her loved ones in this time of grief.
