Swedish reporter 'seriously injured' in Cairo riots



Carl Bildt: 'Mubarak era is over'   • Swedish reporters attacked by Cairo mob

Swedish public broadcaster SVT said Thursday evening that one of its reporters covering the unrest in Cairo had received serious "knife injuries."

The reporter, "Bert Sundström is seriously injured. He is now at a hospital in Cairo and is being operated on for knife injuries," SVT said on its website.

"It remains unclear what happened when he was hurt," it added.

Earlier Thursday, the broadcaster had said it had lost contact with Sundström and feared he was being held by the Egyptian military.

The reporter had participated in a live broadcast at midday.

However, when his producer called him for another report from Tahrir square two hours later "a voice in Arabic answered and said Bert was being held. Then the connection cut," producer Robert Wiström told SVT.

According to a Swedish translation posted on SVT's website, the voice said: "Your man is being held by the military. You sons of whores, if you want him back you will have to come get him. Your man is held by the Egyptian government. He is alive and awake."

On Sunday, two other SVT reporters were arrested but released shortly after, SVT said.

World leaders, rights activists and media organisations have denounced the numerous attacks and harassment of journalists attempting to report on the turmoil in Egypt, with the US ambassador in Cairo condemning a "concerted campaign" of intimidation against international journalists.

Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt also condemned the attacks on journalists in Egypt in a statement late Thursday, saying they were "completely unacceptable," and demanded that "the journalists who have been detained must be freed."

"I hope that the Swedish journalist Bert Sundstroem, who was seriously injured, will recover as quickly as possible," Reinfeldt added.
