Al-Jazeera journalist arrested in Egypt
Egypt: Wednesday, January 30 - 2008 at 08:02
An Al-Jazeera journalist already appealing one jail sentence was arrested again while filming a documentary, allegedly without a proper license, her lawyer and police said, reported AP. Egyptian Howaida Taha, 44, a documentary producer for the pan-Arab TV news channel, was filming in a low-income neighborhood in Cairo when police detained her in the morning. A police official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, confirmed the arrest and said four other people also were detained, including three crew members and an Egyptian human rights activist.
