CAIRO: An Egyptian court on Tuesday ordered the closure of four television channels for allegedly sympathising with the Muslim Brotherhood.
The TV channels which have been forced to be shut down include Al-Jazeera Egypt, Ahrar 25, a network belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, and two other Islamist broadcasters Al-Yarmuk and Al-Quds.
The closure of the television stations follows a crackdown on media seen as sympathetic to the deposed President Mohammed Morsi who was overthrown by the army on July 3.
