Egypt censors newspaper article

mardi 17 mars 2015 à 13:00

Egypt censored a newspaper article that claimed government departments don't pay their workers employer-taxes.

If the failure to pay causes the workers not to get the pensions they are entitled to, or makes the workers pay that tax instead, that is a real wrong — to the workers. Otherwise, it is not clear to me that this "evasion" of taxes from the state to the state really affects anything substantial.

The censorship of the article is a real issue even if the article's subject is not.
