Sandmonkey arrested and freed
For those wondering what happened to the Sandmonkey. Events in Egypt are moving fast—and deteriorating faster. Here is the text of a post by Sandmonkey, the leading Egyptian blogger, who was arrested today, beaten, and then released. He recently tweets: “I am ok. I got out. I was ambushed & beaten by the police, my phone confiscated , my car ripped apar& supplies taken. will tell the story later . Thank you all. I just need to rest now. I am humbled by you all. Thank you so much. I am trying to get a decent computer to write it all. Please don’t respond to my phone or BBM. This isn’t me. My phone was confiscated by a thug of an officer who insults those who call.” The link to his blog may not work if the Government of Egypt has cut it off. [Also, here’s the transcript of a live chat on the subject of events in Egypt I did recently at the Washington Post.]More here.
