Leading the conversation on Egypt in the international press this morning: <\/strong> Storied newspaper publisher Hisham Kassem has been detained<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> writes, quoting his lawyer as saying Kassem has been remanded to custody in prison while awaiting trial on charges of \u201cslander and verbal assault.\u201d The slander charges appear to relate to a dispute between Kassem and a former activist. Kassem said on his X<\/a>(formerly Twitter) feed that he would not bail himself out. He has also been a critic<\/a> of the removal of tombs from the City of the Dead to make way for new roads and bridges<\/p>\n

Readers of a certain age will remember Hisham for his dogged support of independent <\/strong> media in Egypt<\/strong>, first as publisher of the high-profile English-language Cairo Times and, later, of Al Masry Al Youm. The newswire says Hisham, a liberal intellectual and organizer, is the founder and chairman of El-Tayar El-Hurr, or Free Current, a left-leaning group formed in June to participate in the upcoming presidential election process. <\/p>\n
