The 6 October Misdemeanour Court on Wednesday fined television host
Jihan Mansour LE10,000 for "insulting" and "defaming" Essam El-Erian, vice
president of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party.

The court ordered Mansour to pay LE10,000 in "compensation" to the veteran
Muslim Brotherhood member.

Last October, El-Erian accused the Dream TV host of taking money to insult
him and the Brotherhood on her television programme.

The crisis with Mansour began last year when she produced an episode of her
show, Sabahak Ya Masr ('Good Morning Egypt'), following clashes in Tahrir
Square during which Brotherhood members reportedly attacked anti-government
protesters.

El-Erian called the show on air to comment on the accusations, asserting
that Mansour had been paid to attack the Islamist group.

In the same show, Mansour threatened to take legal action against El-Erian,
accusing the leading Brotherhood figure of speaking to her in "an
unprofessional manner."
