German blogger on Gaza reportedly detained in Egypt

Reuters is reporting that Philip Rizk, a 26-year-old German activist and blogger who studies at the American University in Cairo, has been arrested in Egypt. Here's Rizk's blog: TabulaGaza. Rizk was apparently involved in this march of protest of the siege of Gaza when he was picked up by Egyptian police.School

The picture above is one I saw on Rizk's blog. It's an AP image by Anja Niedringhaus from the Jabaliya refugee camp. The sign in the foreground is for the "martyr" Ahed Qaddas, killed by the Israelis. The boy holding his head is Mohammed Kutkut. January 24. Two other boys in the class were also killed.
