Head of the Syndicate of Journalists Yehia Qallash and senior board members Khaled al Balshy and Gamal Abd al-Reheem will appear before Qasr Al Nil Misdemeanors Court on Saturday.

The three leading syndicate members are accused of "harboring fugitives", in reference to the two journalists arrested from inside the syndicate on May 1.

Other members of the Syndicate's board voiced full support to the three colleagues.
