Egyptian State TV Broadcaster Resigns in Protest

HeadlineFeb 04, 2011

A broadcaster at the Egyptian state-run Nile TV station has resigned. Shahira Amin said she quit because she was not allowed to report on what was happening in Tahrir Square.

Shahira Amin: “I’m here in Tahrir Square, and I’m determined to be on the side of the people, not the regime. And that’s why I’m here.”

Al Jazeera Anchor: “Right, and so you’ve resigned from Nile Television?”

Amin: “I walked out yesterday. I can’t be part of the propaganda machine. I’m not going to sheath the public eyes.”
