Police crack down on local journalists

Police has arrested three journalists working for Al-Masry Al-Youm: Jano Charbel, Ahmed Ragab and Mostafa Bahgat while covering a protest by pro-Palestine activists by the French Embassy in Giza.

I spoke with Jano around 10 mins ago. He said they were kept in a van near the Four Seasons Hotel in Giza.

UPDATE: They have just been released, after spending close to three hours in police custody…
