Blogger harrassed at Cairo Airport
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 11:56AM
Blogger Wael Abbas is currently staging a sit-in at the Cairo International Airport. Wael was heading back from Sweden where he was attending a social media conference. His plane arrived around 3am in Cairo. His passport was taken by State Security Police for four hours, and was only returned to him after he staged a sit in with a banner. Now the customs agents have taken his laptop and said they won't be returning it except after investigating it.
Wael is still at the airport. Follow his updates on Twitter...
UPDATE: Wael left the airport after retrieving his bag, however authorities have confiscated his laptop for "inspection."
