Government's failure to shed light on editor's disappearance
"deplorable",
says CPJ report
The Forgotten Man
A CPJ special report: An Egyptian editor disappears and no one can say
why
New York, October 17, 2007 - Four years ago, a senior editor at
Egypt's
leading state-run daily vanished in central Cairo. In a special
report,
"The Forgotten Man," the Committee to Protect Journalists traces the
last
known movements of editor Reda Helal, who disappeared on his way home
from
a routine workday at the prominent daily Al-Ahram. Some Egyptian
journalists believe Helal was a victim of an "enforced disappearance"
undertaken by domestic or foreign security agents, CPJ's Joel
Campagna
writes.
