February 3rd, 2011Via: AP:
The Egyptian military rounded up journalists on Thursday after they came under attack from supporters of President Hosni Mubarak who have been assaulting anti-government protesters.
The U.S. State Department condemned what it called a “concerted campaign to intimidate” foreign journalists in Egypt.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said via Twitter that the campaign against journalists is intended to interfere with their reporting, and “we condemn such actions.”
The leaders of France, Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain said in a joint statement that the “attacks against journalists are completely unacceptable.”
