Egypt Arrests [vacationing] Al-Jazeera Journalist over "Provoking Sedition".

Egypt is one of the few countries I have never seen, that I would specifically like to visit. But I wouldn't go there now; I am afraid of the repression.

In addition, the Egyptian government is so random about its repression that anyone there could be imprisoned for years simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I urge tourists to punish Egypt by boycotting it.
