Clampdown on media coverage of Egypt’s constitutional referendum

NewsReporters Without Borders (RSF) is disturbed by the constant increase in restrictions on the media in Egypt. In the past few days, the media were banned from reporting the partial results of the referendum on sweeping changes to the constitution that was held from 20 to 22 April, and were prevented from covering the vote count. The ban on publishing partial results was imposed by the National Election Authority, which is in charge of the voting.
