Egyptian investigative journalist Hossam Bahgat released
Egyptian investigative journalist and human rights activist Hossam Bahgat was released from the custody of military prosecution on Tuesday, two days after his detention on charges of "publishing false news aimed at harming national security."
Naser Amin, one of the lawyers who attended the questioning of Bahgat, told Ahram Online that his client was released pending investigation, yet without bail.

"He phoned us and only said he's out," Lina Attalah, chief editor of Mada Masr which Bahgat works for as a contributor, told Ahram Online.

Military prosecutors summoned Bahgat on Sunday for questioning. Keeping him in custody overnight, they ordered his detention for four days on Monday.

Before his release, Bahgat’s detention prompted international human rights watchdogs, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, to call for his immediate release.

Bahgat, 37, founded the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights in 2002 and received the Human Rights Watch Alison Des Forges Award in 2011.
