Egyptian Rights Organizations Demand an immediate investigation into Illegal Tapping & Surveillance

Egyptian rights organization today filed a formal request with the Attorney General demanding an immediate investigation into the broadcasting of private telephone conversations by a TV talk show host. Earlier this week, the host, Abdel Raheem Ali, who presents a programme, called ‘Black Box’ on Al-Kahira Wal Nas TV channel, aired private telephone conversations of political activists Mohamed Adel and Ahmad Maher. The organizations also asked for investigating Vodafone company, the operator of the phone service used by the two activists, to determine whether it conspired to record and leak these conversations. [Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Al-Kahira Wal Nas and Vodafone to respond. Vodafone's response is below. If Al-Kahira Wal Nas responds we will add a link to the response here]
