War journalist Kareema Nagy’s accreditation revoked in Libya due to alleged “security concerns”

As the first female Tunisian war journalist, Nagy has been reporting on the conflict in Libya since 2013. Since 2014, her accreditation has been based on her work with Medi1 News Channel, which enabled her to conduct reporting activities for different news outlets.

In March 2019, she interviewed one of General Khalifa Haftar’s former aides, Officer Mohamed Al Hegazy. After finalising the report in question and upon her accreditation’s date of renewal in June 2019, Nagy had her accreditation revoked by the Libyan Government of National Accord’s Foreign Media Department.
