Egypt detains AFP journalist

  • Egypt: Monday, February 04 - 2008 at 11:41

Egyptian security forces briefly detained an AFP journalist and photographer in Rafah on the border with the Gaza Strip, reported AFP. Plainclothes police officers erased the photographer's memory cards, saying journalists were no longer allowed to photograph the border, which was being closed again after it was blown open by Gaza-based militants 11 days ago. The officers refused to give their names and confiscated the journalists' identity cards before taking them to the local security office in Rafah for questioning. The journalists were released after two-and-a-half hours and were forbidden from working in Rafah.
