El Sharq (Arabic: الشرق) is an Egyptian opposition TV channel owned by Ayman Nour and based in Istanbul, Turkey.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

El Sharq channel launched on April 25, 2014 with the slogan “Truth and Hope”. Its board of directors was chaired by Bassem Khafaji, the President of the National Political Academy. Ownership then transferred to Ayman Nour, the leader of the El-Ghad Party, in August 2015.

El Sharq contributed to publishing leaks regarding the leadership of the 2013 coup in Egypt. Journalist Moataz Matar reported on his show "With Motaz" that interference with the broadcast of El Sharq channel was a result of revealing an audio recording of a call between Major General Abbas Kamel and Attorney General Hisham Barakat about the son of journalist Mohamed Hassanein Heikal.[4] The channel is critical of President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi's rule of Egypt.[5]

The primary frequency was jammed by an unknown source in mid-November 2015 and Nour confirmed that the Board of Directors decided to rely on the reserve frequency. In 2017 while exiled in Turkey, Nour was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison for "spreading false news."[6]

The channel was closed on January 16, 2018 until further notice.[7] However, following the financial demands of technical and media staff, mediators reconciled between the Board of Directors and a group of staff members and the channel resumed broadcasting on January 25, 2018.[8]
