Egyptian government orders Al Jazeera shutdown

Egyptian authorities have said they are shutting down Al Jazeera's Cairo bureau, the network said in a statement Sunday.
"Al Jazeera sees this as an act designed to stifle and repress the freedom of reporting by the network and its journalists," the network said. "In this time of deep turmoil and unrest in Egyptian society it is imperative that voices from all sides be heard; the closing of our bureau by the Egyptian government is aimed at censoring and silencing the voices of the Egyptian people."
