Street Newsstands In Cairo Filled With Only State-Owned Newspapers

Most independent Egyptian newspapers suspended publication of Tuesday’s edition in protest over the hurried drafting of the country’s new constitution adopted by an Islamist-led panel. The media protest involved at least eight influential dailies and was part of a planned campaign of civil disobedience that could bring in other industries and build on an ongoing strike by Egypt’s judges.
