The Journalists’ Syndicate executive board decided to expel both Mamdouh Mahran Abdel-Latif, editor-in-chief of Al-Nabaa and Akher Khabar, and Hatem Mamdouh Mahran, editor of the same papers. The syndicate’s board had already received complaints about the unprofessional attitude of Al-Nabaa’s editor-in-chief, and asked the Supreme Council for the Press and the Companies Department if Mahran had any equity in Al-Nabaa Publications, which would contradict the syndicate’s regulations.
