Misr 25 is a satellite television channel in Egypt, owned by the Muslim Brotherhood. It was initially launched to broadcast non-stop footage of the Tahrir Square protests.[1] It was taken off air during the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état,[2] and there were reports of its staff being arrested.[3] The channel was reportedly being used to call people to rally in support of Mohamed Morsi, listing locations for pro-Morsi congregations and portraying the fight "as one for both political legitimacy and Islam".[4]
