Egypt police raid Al-Jazeera office
Egyptian "security" forces have stormed the offices of Al-Jazeera Egypt, confining its journalists to one room and confiscating equipment. - Ahmed Zain said the officers entered the channel's new premises, roughed up staff, forced them into one room and took away their identity papers. One of the reporters, Hayat al-Yamani, asked for the security officers' identity papers but they refused and pushed her to the ground. Police at the nearby Agouza station later refused to take her statement, Zain said. Equipment including cameras and a laptop were also confiscated, he said. It was the second such raid on Al-Jazeera Egypt this month.
