Egypt: Media Monitoring of the Transitional Phase in Egypt the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, Justice System, Parties and Elections July 2011 - January 2012

press release

Privately owned media outlets and the Internet played a major role prior to and following the revolution of 25 January. They highlighted several important issues pertaining to the corruption of the former regime and exposed many of the practices of the security services that violated human rights, such as torture, enforced disappearance, and indifference to the rule of law, provoking conflicting public opinion that paved the way for the outbreak of the revolution and the overthrow of the former regime.

These communication outlets also revealed similar practices that marred the performance of the political and military administrations after the revolution, which has had a role in the activities taking place in the streets against such practices.
