The Use of Life publication case
After Akhbar Al-Adab published material from Ahmed Naji’s novel The Use of Life in August 2014, Naji and editor-in-chief Tarek el-Taher were charged over allegedly indecent content. Both were acquitted on 2 January 2016. The case became associated with debates over censorship and literary freedom in Egypt.
