It seems crazy that the Egyptian Ministry of Interior operates an official facebook page. It's crazy, but it's possible: Maybe this way they want to show how progressive they are at adopting "new" technologies, while at the same time they can arrest people without charge. Even the "crime" was staged by them.

It's sad that developing countries, that have the most to gain from embracing Bitcoin at an early stage oppress innovation. Apparently everything they can't entirely understand or control is considered a threat. This attitude ensures that the country will remain in the same derailed state as it is in today for the next decades.

I really hope the guy will be released soon without injury...

ya.ya.yo!
