CAIRO — Just hours after British-Lebanese TV presenter Liliane Daoud announced June 27 that her contract had ended with private satellite channel ONTV, the Egyptian authorities decided to deport her from the country under the pretext that her residency permit had expired.
“At 5:45 p.m. June 27, about an hour after I announced that my contract with ONTV had ended, eight security personnel arrived [at my home]. Without showing me any official papers, they demanded my British passport. They treated me rudely in front of my [11-year-old] daughter and her father — my ex-husband, the Egyptian journalist Khalid Alberry — who had come to see our daughter,” Daoud wrote in Arabic on Twitter.
