CAIRO: Egyptian authorities have reportedly raided the office of Al Jazeera Mubahser Misr for the second time this month, according to the station's official Twitter feed. Authorities reportedly stormed the office and tried to break down the door. A tweet at 3 pm read “Urgent: Egyptian authorities are trying to storm the office of the island by force and try to break down the door.” The offices of Al Jazeera Mubahser Misr were stormed on September 10. Egyptian security services raided the office and seized broadcasting equipment. They also arrested one the station's technical engineers. Al-Jazeera Mubashar Misr started its operations in Cairo last February, at a time when many hoped that the achievements of the January 25 Revolution would usher in an era of free media in Egypt. Authorities claimed that the station was working on an expired broadcast license. The raid was predicated by a joint-decision made by the Military Council and the Council of Ministers on September 7 that ceased approval for any new broadcasting licenses in Egypt. As part of the decision, officials ordered that police take necessary measures to prevent unlicensed stations from broadcasting. BM
