Al Arabi is a newspaper based in Cairo, Egypt. It is the organ of the Nasserist Party. In the 1990s the paper was one of the opposition publications. In 1998 one of the editors of the paper was arrested and given six-month prison sentence due to the alleged defamation of a pro-government writer, Tharwat Abaza. In 1999 the party declared that it could not finance the paper anymore, and the Egyptian government proposed to provide financial support to the paper. However, the party did not accept the proposal, but reduced the frequency of Al Arabi from daily to weekly. More information...
