CairoA court ordered Mada Masr shut, fining it 3 million Egyptian pounds.
Police carried editor Lina Attalah out of court before she heard the verdict.
Attalah learned in 2022 that authorities had rejected its licence under Egypt’s 2018 media law, with no notice or reasons.
“Just like that, 13 years of journalism practice had ended in a five-minute judicial performance,” Attalah wrote.
Authorities have not answered its resubmitted licence application since 2023, Attalah wrote.
