Egyptian Man Arrested, Twitters From Jail
According to TechCrunch, UC Berkeley graduate journalism student James Karl Buck was arrested on April 10 without any charges in Egypt for photographing a demonstration. It turns out he used his cell phone to twitter the message “Arrested” to his 48 followers, who then contacted UC Berkeley, the US Embassy and a number of press organizations on his behalf, the article said.
After a day in jail, Buck twittered the words “Alive and OK. Still in Jail” to his friends, but authorities released him shortly afterward.
