ALT A search of the home of Ariane Lavrilleux, a journalist with Disclose and co-author of the "Egypt Papers" series of investigations, began at 6am on Tuesday 19 September. Accompanied by an examining magistrate, police officers from the intelligence service agency DGSI (Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure) took the journalist into custody as part of an investigation into compromising national defence secrets and revealing information that could lead to the identification of a protected agent, which was opened in July 2022. The aim of this latest episode of unacceptable intimidation of Disclose journalists is clear: to identify our sources who helped reveal the Sirli military operation in Egypt. In November 2021, Disclose relied on several hundred top secret documents to unveil a campaign of arbitrary executions orchestrated by the Egyptian dictatorship of Marshal Al-Sissi, with the complicity of the French state.
