As if to flex its muscles after the Mubarak sentencing, SCAF had Alaa abd El Fattah picked up

along with his sister Mona Seif. They were questioned for 10 hours for their alleged participation in the vandalizing and arson at the HQ of the regime's candidate -- they've been charged. Alaa has been a leading figure in the Egyptian revolution and Mona is the quarterback of the No Scaf movement (Supreme Council of the Armed Forces).

They were not at the scene and no one can place them there.


Alaa Abd El Fattah ?@alaa
Finally after 10 hours at the prosecutor they decided to release us. Am free and will be in tahrir after a short nap
