Protesters hold placards reading “information behind bars” and “here, journalist in jail” as they demonstrate in front of the police headquarters in Marseille, southern France, in support of journalist Ariane Lavrilleux, who has been taken into police custody as part of an investigation into the compromise of national defense secrets, on September 20, 2023.
Investigative website Disclose published a series of articles in November 2021 based on hundreds of secret documents. It said they showed how information from a French counter-intelligence operation in Egypt, codenamed “Sirli”, was used by the Egyptian state for “a campaign of arbitrary killings” against smugglers operating along the Libyan border.
On Tuesday, Lavrilleux’s home was searched and she was arrested for questioning by agents of the DGSI, France’s domestic intelligence agency, Disclose announced on X, formerly known as Twitter. It denounced an “unacceptable attack on the secrecy of sources” – a view quickly backed by the Society of Journalists and Reporters Without Borders .Amnesty International’s secretary-general Agnes Callamard said, “It is deeply chilling that, almost two years after the revelations that France was allegedly complicit in the extrajudicial executions of hundreds of people in Egypt, it is the journalist who exposed these atrocities that is being targeted, rather than those responsible.
