TV presenter Ibrahim Eissa was summoned for questioning at the Prosecutor General’s office yesterday, Al Masry Al Youm reports. Eissa’s questioning follows a case filed by Speaker Ali Abdel Aal, accusing Eissa of insulting the House of Representatives. Lawyer Nasser Amin says what is happening with Eissa is in violation of the constitution and goes against freedom of expression. Eissa was released after questioning yesterday evening. The Prosecutor General’s office has also reportedly begun a second investigation against Eissa for an article in which he likens Sinai to war-torn Iraq and Syria, Al Mal reports.
