Howida Taha is arrested

Howida Taha Al-Jazeera's producer who is standing in front of the Egyptian courts for the charges of defaming and spreading lies about Egypt , the Egyptian police and interior ministry was arrested today for filming documentaries without permission !!!

She was shooting a documentary about how the people who lost their houses in Imbaba area for tourism projects "hotels and so on"

Howida produced a documentary that was shown on Al-Jazeera under the title "Beyond the Sun" about the police torture and abuse , the regime said that it was a fabrication and Taha stood in front of the court for defame charges despite the facts that several cases mentioned and appeared in the documentary were actually a real torture and abuse cases that the Egyptian courts gave them back their rights last year .

It does not need a lot of time to know that it is beyond a Permission for filming

Updated : She was released on the same day , they were just teasing her ,already it turned out that she did not take the interior ministry approval on filming
