Follow Up : A crazy day

Ok I can't keep up with the huge numbers of people who are arrested and detained till now, well this is one hell of number..
Every minute I found a twitter msg from Wael Abbas and others saying that some have been arrested in Tahrir square since the morning from activists mainly and citizens
Big names like Magdi Ahmed Hussein and Mohammed Abd El-Quds were arrested , in fact Abd El-Quds was arrested when he was buying a newspaper down town , also famous activists like Sharkawy were arrested from their homes , imagine it !!?? "Sharkawy was sexually abused by the police force from couple of day"
It is just crazy already Abbas is saying that there are more than 900 anti-riots Vehicles in Cairo today and I believe him .
By the way if you have a mobile phone in Tahrir square area, you will not be able to receive or make calls despite the transmission stations in the area , there are a lot of noise and you do not have to guess who is behind it.
The Kasr Al-Ainy street is nearly deserted , about 80% of the shops in this very active area are closed and this is unusual by measures
Several Bloggers today were arrested
I am still with you , follow this blog for the updates in English
Update # 1:
There is a semi sandstorm in Cairo right now !!
The Head Cairo security directorate General Ismail Al Shaer is in down town currently.
There are news saying that the Police released all the mothers and girls detained in the protest.
Some professors in the State universities did not give any lecture in solidarity with the strike
More updates#2 :
The detained activists are currently held in the anti-riots forces camp in Helwan.
Updates#3:
Most of the journalists covering the strike have been arrested today, the cameras of BBC Arabic were taken , it is a crazy thing but it is not a strange thing
