New arrests

Today there was a big protest arranged by Kafya against the Constitution amendments in Cairo, already I knew it wasn't going to be fine as the interior minister from couple of days promised not to let anyone to disturb the national scene before or during the referendum , also yesterday night it turned out that George Isaac , the ex-coordinator of the Kafya movement and activist ,suddenly disappeared , online and offline there was a rumor that he was arrest , especially his wife in Cairo and his family Port Said didn't know anything about him , any how he appeared to be fine but suddenly in Port Said and no one knows how or why ,as he was supposed to be in Cairo for the protest.

These were my indications that today we may see bad things like violence and arrests and I was right as it turned down

Many protesters were arrested including a number not big but also not small from bloggers ; of course they were n't arrested for blogging but for protesting in the streets

Also some foreign journalists were attacked and their cameras were either smashed

Already it turned out the plan was to spend the night in the Tahrir square till the referendum , of course the security didn't want that to happen and thus it release their anti-riots and thugs gangs after the protesters.

The protesters now are in the building of the journalists syndication completing their protest under very heavy security existence

Arabaway aka Hossam El-Mahalawy made an excellent coverage about the protest ,already he was detained for some time but thank God he was released ,also the first set of images are here
