During the protests, the Committee to Protect Journalists registered 53 assaults on journalists. It did not delineate the genders of the people affected. There were also dozens of cases of harassment during the weeks of protests, and some female journalists complained about being singled out by crowds. There were no other known sexual assaults.

So you have friends in Egypt. You weren't there. You didnt see what happened to this reporter nor who did it.
So there is no basis for your supposedly authoritative comments on this case whatsoever.

Of course your cooments are less authoritative because I'm saying we DONT KNOW what happened or who did it, while you claim - falsely - that it WAS rape and it WAS pro-democracy protesters.
You know nothing of the sort.
What bugs me is you making claims as if you know the facts when you know no more than anyone else here, which is, so far, almost nothing.

The committee, whose board includes Ms. Logan, said Tuesday evening in a statement: “We have seen Lara’s compassion at work while helping journalists who have faced brutal aggression while doing their jobs. She is a brilliant, courageous, and committed reporter. Our thoughts are with Lara as she recovers.”

There is little information available about instances of sexual assault affecting journalists. In an article for the Columbia Journalism Review in 2007, the writer, Judith Matloff, wrote that foreign correspondents rarely tell anyone, “even when the abuse is rape.”

LOL, no you didn't, you said 'it' happened, that 'it' was rape, and that it was carried out by celebrating pro-democracy supporters, none of which you can substantiate.
If you are now going to change that to 'something happened' then, fine, we agree, 'something' likely happened. Ive never claimed nothing happened, we just dont know what and who did it.
