This isn't exactly politics is it? It certainly is about geopolitical event, but not quite one party vs another.

Because we all agree that we hate republicans... I mean egypt?

It's political, but it's not US politics, so it seems to pass the 'not political' HN test.

Odd, but seems true from my experience.

If the US were putting journalists in Jail, it would be equally relevant. Geo politics, yes, as in whatever is going on between Egypt & Qatar. But I'm interested whenever folks like journalists, artists etc are targeted. Snowden was all over HN & you might argues that's political too, but relevant to this community nevertheless.

Doesn't it fall under Political? If so isn't it Off-Topic?

Might fall under political events, but still relevant to the community here IMHO
