Al Arabi is a newspaper based in Cairo, Egypt. It is the organ of the Nasserist Party.[1] In the 1990s the paper was one of the opposition publications.[2] In 1998 one of the editors of the paper was arrested and given six-month prison sentence due to the alleged defamation of a pro-government writer, Tharwat Abaza.[3] In 1999 the party declared that it could not finance the paper anymore, and the Egyptian government proposed to provide financial support to the paper.[1] However, the party did not accept the proposal, but reduced the frequency of Al Arabi from daily to weekly.[1]
Former editors-in-chief of the paper include Abdel Halim Qandil and Nasser Abu Tahoun.[4][5] Of them Qandil held the post until 2007.[6] Another editor-in-chief was Mahmoud Al Maraghi.[7]Mohamed Fayek, a cabinet member during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser, was among the former chairmen of its board.[8]
