Regeni gag order in Egypt media plan (2)

(ANSA) - Cairo, May 3 - A gag order on the torture and murder of Italian student Giulio Regeni is included in a "secret plan" hatched by the Egyptian interior ministry to deal with the media in general and more specifically a crisis brought on by two journalists at a trade union office in Cairo, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. The request for the prosecutor-general to censor news on Regeni was sent to the media by mistake. Italy is pressing Egypt to provide more information on the mysetrious death of Regeni, whose mutilated body was found on February 3 after he disappeared on January 25, the heavily policed fifth anniversary of the uprising that toppled former strongman Hosni Mubarak.
