Medea Benjamin was detained and allegedly attacked by police in Egypt before being deported. The far left radical has a long history of supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
Several news accounts report that Susan ‘Medea’ Benjamin, founder of the terrorist support group Code Pink, has been deported from Egypt to Turkey after being barred from entering the country.
Benjamin was attempting to use Egypt as a staging ground to support Hamas-led Gaza as she has done in previous visits. Code Pink also worked with the Muslim Brotherhood in past trips to Cairo to overthrow the government of former President Hosni Mubarak.
Before being deported, Benjamin live-tweeted her detention in a Cairo airport jail cell. Her last tweet was, “Help. They broke my arm. Egypt police.”
Benjamin later told Bloomberg News via phone, “The police pulled my arm out the socket, my arm is dislocated. They want to deport me.”
Benjamin also spoke to Agence France-Presse:
“I arrived yesterday (Monday). They took me out of customs, held me overnight, threw me on the floor, and broke my arm. Two policemen jumped on me and broke my arm,” she said in a telephone conversation aboard her flight. An airport official said Benjamin “dislocated her shoulder,” without elaborating.”
It appears Egypt will not allow Code Pink to support terrorists in Egypt this time around as AFP also reported:
“A Cairo court on Tuesday also banned Hamas activities inside Egypt. Members of the movement have been accused of aiding deposed Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood.”
WAAAAAAH!

That’s another pair of reprobates that I would not cry over if something really nasty happened to them.
Good news as Egypt continues to take out the trash.
Pit-y...
Yes. One must smell better than a goat.
After the day I had yesterday, this puts a smile on my face.
I’m trying to work up some sort of sympathy for Medusa Benjamin, but I just can’t.
She is an enemy of America. I’d identify her as an enemy combatant.
Talk about yer whiplash of reactions .. LOL !
Pit-a and doner kebab.
Turkey is nice this time of year.
If she is going to play politics as an outsider in third world countries, what makes her think she is invisible and bulletproof? They expect their human rights to be protected and respected as though they were in the America they hate.
The naivety of these morons is stunning.
I hope she will go and teach the Taliban a thing or two.
I was hoping they’d send her to Moscow where she can join up with the Pussy Riot.
The Egyptians have had their fill of Soros-financed troublemakers.
Too many have already died because of them.
Did she think they would feel obligated to accept her as a friend?
Let's hope that the Turks KEEP HER!
That would be just fine, as well.
