___________
Dr. Ashraf Wagdy, an Egyptian leftist activist, was arrested yesterday at 7 pm GMT. He runs a Facebook group for promoting Mohamed ElBaradie for running for Presidency.
He is on an open hunger strike as a pressure for his release, since the Egyptian police abusively postponed his appearing in front of the public prosecution, holding him without a charge.
Another Facebook group is created calling for his release. Dr. Ashraf Wagdy is an ex-psychiatrist, and the head of Books&Beans library, a major cultural center in Mansoura city, 120 Km north east of Cairo.
