Egypt: Journalist Hossam Bahgat Released from Detention 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
In Egypt, a leading journalist and human rights activist has been
released following his controversial detention this weekend. Hossam
Bahgat was detained after publishing a report on the secret convictions
of 26 military officers accused of plotting a coup against the
government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. His detention sparked
international condemnation. We'll go to Egypt for more on his case later
in the broadcast.
