Cairo, March 5 (RHC)-- U.S. peace activist Medea Benjamin says she was detained at Cairo’s airport by Egyptian police who broke her arm and held her without explanation. Benjamin had intended to meet up with international delegates before traveling to Gaza for a women’s conference.
But she said she was detained upon arrival in Cairo and held overnight before being deported to Turkey where she is now seeking medical treatment.
Her detention came as Egypt banned all activities of the Palestinian group Hamas.
