Mysterious American “activists” are forced to seek refuge at the US embassy in Cairo
Generally we see stuff like this only when the media is unable to cover it up anymore… The local authorities want to arrest a number of them for fermenting revolt in the general population. The most common disposition in a third world country for something like this is the payment of many millions of dollars in bribes – your tax dollars in action again.
“American activists in Cairo seek refuge at U.S. Embassy Americans under criminal investigation for democracy rights work in Egypt have sought protection from possible arrest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo amid escalating tensions over civil liberties between Washington and Egypt’s military leaders. The Americans took refuge at the embassy over the weekend after Egyptian authorities barred them from leaving the country during a probe into nongovernmental organizations the army has blamed for fomenting unrest and stoking political turmoil. U.S. officials did not identify the Americans but at least six are under investigation. One of those forbidden from traveling is Sam LaHood, director of the International Republican Institute, or IRI, in Egypt and son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. He and the others could face up to five years in jail. Embassy officials would not comment on the whether the Americans were staying at their compound in downtown Cairo, a development first reported Monday by the Washington Post. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Kate Starr confirmed that "a handful of U.S. citizens have opted to stay in the embassy compound in Cairo while waiting for permission to depart Egypt,” the Associated Press reported.” http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/worl...s-embassy.html |

“19 Americans in Egypt Face Trial in Inquiry Over Funding
Egypt’s military-led government said Sunday that it would put 19 Americans and two dozen others on trial in a politically charged criminal investigation into the foreign financing of nonprofit groups that has shaken the 30-year alliance between the United States and Egypt.” http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/06/wo...l-charges.html |
