Misr 25

Egyptian satellite TV channel

Misr 25 was a free-to-air satellite television channel in Egypt which was owned by the Muslim Brotherhood. It was initially launched to broadcast non-stop footage of the Egyptian revolution of 2011.[1] Following the overthrow of Mohamed Morsi on July 3, 2013, Misr 25's headquarters were raided, leading to the channel shutting down.[2] The channel was reportedly being used to call people to rally in support of Mohamed Morsi, listing locations for pro-Morsi sit-ins and portraying the fight "as one for both political legitimacy and Islam."[3]
