More Pressure on Bloggers at Cairo Airport

The Egyptian authorities are continuing to pressure bloggers, both domestic and foreign. Wa'el ‘Abbas had his departure delayed in yet another incident, after previous incidents where his computer was seized, he was detained, etc. And the Swedish journalist Per Bjorklund, whose blog is Egypt and Beyond, who had been living in Egypt, has been denied re-entry and apparently will be deported.
