Refusing to give up the pressing of charges against the policeman who attacked him, Wael Abbas was hauled into police headquarters today in Cairo. He is now free. From what we can tell, the policeman and his henchman were charged, but released on bail.

I presume the policeman made a counter-charge against Abbas, explaining his detainment. But we are waiting to hear from him. According to his Twitter account, “(police) r exerting massive pressure on me and my mom 2 reconcile with the assailants” and “embedded threats of using false witnesses.”
