Critical Journalists Arrested After Cairo Police R

Two journalists are arrested by Egyptian police after a raid at a press syndicate. Both journalists were known to be critical of the government in Cairo. The interior ministry refuses to recognize the raid of 40 police officers, only claiming it was 8. This sparked a storm among the journalists and they think an apology is deserved. It has also sparked a sit-in with the other journalists in protest of the unnecessary raid.
