One of Egypt's leading activists was detained by the army in the seaside city of Alexandria today, fellow activists said.
Sameh Naguib, a prominent member of the Revolutionary Socialists (RS) group and sociology professor at the American University in Cairo (AUC), was reportedly participating in an anti-government march in Egypt's second-largest city when he was attacked by plainclothes individuals who later turned him over to the army.
UPDATE: Fellow RS activists say on Twitter he was released from army custody this evening. However, there is no news yet about his condition or why he was detained.
