Journalists, human rights activists come under attack

Journalists and human rights activists in Cairo said they were being attacked on Thursday, as violence in the capital continued.

Activists at the Hisham Mubarak Centre - a human rights organisation - were reportedly being barricaded inside their offices by pro-government supporters, Western human rights activists said, DPA reported.

Journalists were reporting more arrests, damage to their equipment and random attacks. Al Arabiya television said a camera crew was beaten.

One reporter for a Western media outlet said the incidents appeared to be intentional.
