Since Islamist President Mohammed Morsi’s overthrow last July, at least five journalists have been killed, 45 assaulted, and 11 news outlets raided, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. The New York-based group also reported that at least 44 journalists have been detained “without charge in pretrial procedures, which, at times, have gone on for months.” (AP Photo/Hassan Ammar, File)
