| [Al Ahram] Labour lawyer Haytham Mohamadein, a leading member of Egypt's Revolutionary Socialists, was arrested at a military checkpoint close to Suez and is currently being detained, the group announced on Thursday. Mohamadein, who is also a member of El-Nadeem Centre for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence, was on his way from Cairo to Suez on Thursday when he was arrested at a military checkpoint on Suez Road. He was then transferred to Attaqa police station in Suez. Mohamadein is expected to be referred to the prosecution on Friday. The charges he faces are yet to be officially confirmed and the army has not made any statements yet on the issue. Aida Seif El-Dawla of El-Nadeem centre told Ahram Online that Mohamadein spoke with her shortly after his arrest. "He told me that army forces stopped him at the checkpoint and took hold of his bag, which contained documents and legal records of his clients," she said. "He refused this action." |
