A doctor in Egypt was arrested after writing a report about the country’s broken health system. A pharmacist there was arrested at work after writing online about a shortage of protective equipment. An editor was taken from his home after questioning official coronavirus numbers. And a pregnant doctor was arrested after a coworker used her phone to report a suspected coronavirus case. As Egyptian health officials fight the spread of COVID-19, security agencies are fighting the spread of criticism of the government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. At least 10 doctors and six reporters have been arrested since the coronavirus hit Egypt in February, rights groups say. Other health workers say they have been warned by officials to keep quiet, or face punishment.
