A day after journalists were beaten by pro-government supporters in Cairo, at least two dozen reporters, including two Washington Post staff members, were detained according to multiple witnesses. Based on reports from witnesses, they were in the custody of the military police in Cairo as of 3 p.m. EET (8 a.m. EST). Early reports that they were in the custody of the Interior Ministry were incorrect.
Leila Fadel, the Post's Cairo bureau chief, Linda Davidson, a staff photographer, Sufian Taha, their translator and a longtime Washington Post employee, and Mansour el-Sayed Mohammed Abo Gouda, their Egyptian driver, were among those who have been detained, said Douglas Jehl, the Post's foreign editor. Fadel and Davidson have since been released, but Taha and Abo Gouda are believed to still be in custody.
