Four French journalists – Karen Lagon of Le Journal du Dimanche, Adrien Jaulmes of Le Figaro, Sipa agency photographer Albert Facelly (who is working for Le Journal du Dimanche) and a Paris-Match reporter – were arrested early in the morning as they were about to cover the demonstrations after Friday prayers in the centre of Cairo. They were freed one hour later, Le Figaro editor Philippe Gelie said.
