Sisters of detained Egyptian blogger held at sit-in outside cabinet building

Alaa Abd el Fatah was detained for insulting the army, and missed his son’s birth.

Two sisters of Alaa Abd el Fatah, the prominent Egyptian blogger detained for insulting the military, were arrested and briefly held by police as clashes erupted again in Cairo between protesters and the security forces.

Egyptian bloggers reacted with incredulity to the news that Mona and Sanaa Seif, aged 24 and 17, were among those arrested as the military moved to forcibly disperse a sit-in outside the Egyptian cabinet building.

"Mona and @sana2 – two sisters of @alaa – were both arrested in army charge. Almost whole family detained now. Who's next? Khaled?," asked one Twitter user upon hearing of the detentions. Fatah's baby son, Khaled, was born while his father was in jail.

The circumstances of the sisters' arrests were unclear but Mona Seif, who has campaigned vociferously against military trials for civilians, was released unharmed, soon followed by Sanaa.

Their aunt, the novelist and commentator Ahdaf Soueif, said the teenager, one of a group of young people who helped to produce an opposition newspaper during the revolution, had suffered a slight cut to the head and some bruising.

Some of the other young women had been "very badly beaten", said Soueif. Arrested alongside the Seif sisters was Samira Ibrahim, who is pursuing a sexual assault complaint against the military after she was forced to undergo a so-called virginity test this year. She was later freed.

In Bahrain, activists were outraged by the arrest of a 28-year-old blogger and activist who was staging a peaceful protest on the outskirts of the capital, Manama, on Thursday.

Zainab al-Khawaja, who tweets under the name AngryArabiya, was handcuffed and dragged along the ground to a police van, and a video apparently showed her being hit by a female officer before being detained. The authenticity of the video could not be confirmed.

The government said Khawaja had been arrested because of her "role in a larger illegal gathering in a busy roundabout on one of the main roads outside Manama", and had to be dragged because she resisted arrest.

Her sister, Marayam al-Khawaja, of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, said Zainab would be held for at least seven days, after which a judge would decide whether to extend the detention.

The Khawaja family is well-known for being a thorn in the side of the Khalifa royal family; Zainab's father, Abdulhadi, is Bahrain's most prominent dissident. He was jailed for life this year for taking part in protests in February and is serving the sentence at the same prison as Zainab's husband, who was jailed for four years.
