CAIRO – A week before Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi issued a decree vastly expanding his powers and prohibiting judicial review of his decisions, an Egyptian satellite TV station, famous for helping re-energize the Egyptian uprising in February 2011, was forced off the air.
Follow @NBCNewsWorld (https://twitter.com/NBCNewsWorld)(Morsi, on Saturday, scaled back the decree (http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/08/15776159-egypts-morsi-annuls-orders-giving-him-sweeping-powers-but-keeps-dec-15-constitution-vote?lite), but this week's vote on a new constitution will go ahead as planned.)
The station, Dream TV (http://tv.ardmasr.com/), rose to international prominence after broadcasting an interview with former Google executive and Egyptian activist Wael Ghonim -- an interview that re-inspired the protest movement that led to the end of Hosni Mubarak’s presidency.
