Al Jazeera denounced the closure of its bureau, saying the move was designed to stifle free reporting

Al Jazeera has expressed its “utter disappointment” with the blockage of its signal on Nilesat and sees this as a further attempt to block its reporting out of Egypt. 

The news network said on Sunday that the move was a reaction to the popularity of its wide coverage of the events in Egypt.

On its bureau in Cairo being closed earlier by the Egyptian government, the network said it retained the right to take any available legal measures to reverse the move.
 
“Regardless of the multiple attempts by the Egyptian authorities to deter and impede our reporting, Al Jazeera continues its comprehensive coverage of the landmark events unfolding in Egypt,” Wadah Khanfar, the news organisations's director general said.

To further enhance its coverage of the unfolding events in Egypt, Al Jazeera has made available to bloggers, activists, and citizen journalists the following ways to send their images and stories to Al Jazeera:

• Arabic content can be submitted to: sharek.aljazeera.net
• English content can be submitted to:  yourmedia.aljazeera.net
