Journalists and Human Rights Activists Arrested and Beaten In Cairo Crackdown

"Human rights activist Hossam Bahgat reports the military has raided the offices of the Hisham Mubarak Law Center in downtown Cairo, which has been the headquarters for the legal effort to protect the pro-democracy demonstrators. He also says the military has locked down Tahrir Square, turning people away at checkpoints from entering. "The biggest alarm today, is that there seems to be a series attempts by the army itself, for the first time, going after foreign journalists and going after human rights organizations, both Egyptian and foreign," Bahgat says. "Without access to Tahrir square we fear the worst is about to happen. It is something that the army does not want anyone from the outside world to witness."...."
