Nicoducaire, Thanks for sharing your testimony. I heard several witnesses who said the arrest was brutal indeed. The good news is, Nadia and Waleed were released last night.

We tried to protect her but we were three against dozens of policemen… We saw her being beated up, falling down, and being violently caught by the police and put in the van… They said she will be released in few moments but it seems that it’s not the case… It was just incredible, how many the police was. It was impossible even to stand in front of the cinema or in the street, and nobody could enter or go out of the excelsior café, where Magda Adly and others were…
