My arrest and detention have been instigated by general Hisham El Naggar - a communication officer in the Egyptian consulate. My two laptops and my Egyptian passport have been confiscated and I was released after I was forced to sign a release form stating that I pledge to withhold from criticizing the Egyptian regime on my blog or anywhere online. Today, and for almost a year, I still have not received my passport or my laptops, and I am almost exiled in the city of Qaminis, 50 kilometers away from Bin Ghazi.
