An al-Jazeera journalist has been arrested in Egypt for allegedly fabricating videos of police torturing suspects. Huweida Taha Metwalli was detained on her way to Qatar with 50 video tapes in her luggage and charged with "tarnishing Egypt's reputation and harming Egyptian national interests". Al-Jazeera says the tapes portray a "documentary reconstruction" by actors of torture cases. The arrest has been condemned bythe Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, accusing the Egyptian government of routinely harassing al-Jazeera staff. (Via BBC news)
