Sandmonkey OK

Figured I'd give an update on Sandmonkey, since I wrote about his arrest, although everyone who is interested probably already knows that he'd been released on the same day.

He was driving with some friends trying to deliver medical supplies to Tahrir square when they got attacked, arrested and beaten. They were released a few hours later after being robbed of the medical supplies, their money and their phones, and Sandmonkey's car was destroyed. Hope he has good insurance.

His blog is back up.

Sandmonkey

Sandmonkey, an Egyptian blogger who has been reporting on Twitter on the current events in Egypt, just got arrested.

(Yes, he is not the only one, he is just the one I've been reading for some years now.)

Edit: witnesses say he was arrested while taking medical supplies to Tahrir square and that the police is answering his phone. And now his blog has been shut down.
