it is essential that journalists accused of libel and slander crimes face jail sentences, while in other offences — such as the crime of disseminating lies — it is enough for journalists and newspapers to face tremendous fines."[8]

"massacre" on 8 July, in which dozens of Morsi supporters were killed.[10]

Makhioun is known for his opposition to football, calling on Egyptians to stop watching the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[11][12] In the same statement he called Lionel Messi an "enemy of Islam".[13]
