Egypt Warns Media to Take Care in Coverage Amid Protests

Associated Press

   CAIRO - Egypt's media authority warned journalists Sunday that it was
   monitoring coverage to ensure they abide by "professional codes" amid a
   rare burst of protests against President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. The
   warning came hours after the latest small protest was dispersed by
   police in clouds of tear gas.

   Dozens of people including children marched Saturday evening in the
   port city of Suez, calling for el-Sissi to step down, three witnesses
   told The Associated Press. Police "pursued the people in the streets
   ... there was lots of gas," one resident said. The witnesses spoke on
   condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals.
