Egyptian authorities have apprehended six individuals affiliated with an online platform linked to the banned Muslim Brotherhood, according to the Interior Ministry. The group allegedly operated an unlicensed website named Matsadaqsh, which disseminated false information and distorted facts. The investigation revealed that Matsadaqsh was coordinated by Abdel Rahman Shoukry Ali Abdel Jalil Mansour, a Muslim Brotherhood member who resides abroad.
