عندما قام المتظاهرون المصريون بالدعوة إلى إقامة مسيرات هائلة معارضة لمبارك تجوب جميع المدن في مصر بعد صلاة الجمعة، حجب نظام مبارك الإنترنت قبل جمعة الغضب. واليوم تتوالى الأنباء عن اعتقال الناشطين إلى جانب إزعاج ومضايقة وإلقاء الفبض على الصحفيين قبل “جمعة الرحيل”.

وتستهدف تلك الاعتقالات ترك المسيرات بدون قيادة توجهها والتحرش بالصحفيين لدفعهم إلى التوقف عن تغطية المظاهرات التي احتشدت لليوم العاشر على التوالي وتنذر الأجواء بالسوء خاصة مع تصريح الكثيرين بأنها ستكون أقرب للمذبحة.

@laranasser: #Tahrir Sq. is being evacuated from all journos&media reporters! The Regime is planning to trap protesters away from eyewitnesses! #tahrir

@hammametsou: Traitor mubarak planning Fri massacre. Last time he used phone/internet blackout 4his crimes this time arrested majority journalist #egypt

أرسل أحمد ناجي على تويتر:

الناس بيتقبض عليهم في الشوارع المؤدية لوسط البلد وميدان التحرير

ويسترسل شوزمو الأولاني:

@uwe_a: #egypt local anchor quitting,foreign journalist handcuffed & blindfolded, newspapers attacked, blogers arrested, fullscale blackout #jan25

يستنكر البعض ما يحدث:

@Suo_Fei: What is happening to journalists on Tahrir Square is a scandal!! #jan25

وبالفعل أصدرت لجنة حماية الصحفيين بيانا لإدانة الهجمات :

“This is a dark day for Egypt and a dark day for journalism,” said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. “The systematic and sustained attacks documented by CPJ leave no doubt that a government-orchestrated effort to target the media and suppress the news is well under way. With this turn of events, Egypt is seeking to create an information vacuum that puts it in the company of the world's worst oppressors, countries such as Burma, Iran and Cuba.

“We hold President Mubarak personally responsible for this unprecedented action,” said Simon, “and call on the Egyptian government to reverse course immediately.”

In the past 24 hours alone, CPJ has recorded 24 detentions, 21 assaults, and five instances of equipment having been seized. In addition, plainclothes and uniformed agents reportedly entered at least two hotels used by international journalists to confiscate press equipment. On Wednesday, CPJ documented numerous earlier assaults, detentions, and confiscations. Mubarak forces have attacked the very breadth of global journalism: Their targets have included Egyptians and other Arab journalists, Russian and U.S. reporters, Europeans and South Americans.

“The attacks on journalists, which began last week, have now intensified to levels unseen in Egypt's modern history,” said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. “We are concerned for the safety of our colleagues, and we're alarmed at the prospect of these witnesses being sidelined at this crucial moment in Egyptian history.”

وأضاف سيمون:

وتعرض لجنة حماية الصحفييين قائمة حديثة حول الهجمات التي تعرض لها الصحفيين.

وفي نفس الوقت تتوالى الأخبار على تويتر:

@draddee: Greek journalist stabbed while covering Tahrir sq.

@khnidk: reports of reporters being confined to their hotel rooms, no cameras no phones, prelude to massacre?

أنباء عن احتجاز مراسلين صحفيين في غرفهم بالفندق بدون كاميرات أو هواتف، مقدمة للمذبحة؟

@AymanM: 3 #aljazeera journalists arrested in #egypt 1 #aljazeera journalist still missing #jan25 #tahrir

@Tantoune: @AymanM: Two dozen journalists unaccounted for, arrested, attacked in #egypt on Thursday #jan25 #tahrir

@draddee: AJA hasn't shown live images of Tahrir in a while, have their cameras been confiscated again?

Activists, lawyers and human rights defenders too, have had their share of today's crackdown.

تضيف منى سيف معلومة:

They arrested my father & all brave human rights lawyers, called them spies for hamas & iran so the ppl would turn against them #Jan25

ويقتبس البعض ما ورد في الإعلام:

@Jnoubiyeh: Al Jazeera: Security forces have assaulted two human rights organizations and have arrested at least 2 people. #Egypt #Jan25 #Mubarak

وتتواصل حملة الإعتقالات. يشير وائل عباس:

@waelabbas: Human Rights Watch researcher Dan Williams among those arrested at Hisham Mubarak Law Centre, at least 24 journalists so far, equipment conf

ولكن هل سيؤثر ذلك على الحالة المعنوية للمصريين الذين بعدون أنفسهم لمسيرة الغد؟

@rdeancutting: Watching leaderless people organize themselves on AJE stream. Hospitals. Food. Security. Who needs leaders? Authoritarians? #Jan25 #Tahrir
