Journalist kidnapped by Mubarak's secret police posted by Richard Seymour

Journalist Ben White has asked me to draw attention to this. His friend and fellow journalist Philip Rizk has been kidnapped by Egyptian secret police, and his supporters are building up a solidarity campaign demanding his release. There have already been protests in Egypt, and more are planned. Those of you who use Facebook are encouraged to join his support group, where you can be kept up to date on efforts to get Rizk released. Check Ben's website for regular updates. Hossam will also be posting updates here.
