Relatives, Friends of Detained Egyptian-American in Syria Stage Cairo Protest 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------



An Egyptian-American engineer who traveled to Syria after the Egyptian
uprising remains behind bars. The Syrian government arrested Mohamed
Radwan and aired what it called a "confession" suggesting he had spied
for Israel. Radwan’s family says the statement is false and must have
resulted from coercion. On Wednesday, family members led a protest for
Radwan outside the Syrian embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
