Susan ‘Medea’ Benjamin announced on Twitter Monday night she is being held in a jail cell at the Cairo, Egypt airport:
“I’m being held in a jail at Cairo airport!!!”
Benjamin is in Egypt to lead a delegation of activists to Hamas-led Gaza to mark International Women’s Day later this week.
Code Pink has a history of working with the Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow the Egyptian government of former President Hosni Mubarak as well as other terrorist groups and state sponsors of terrorism.
Medea Benjamin appeared at ease as she walked around Tahrir Square and handed out roses during the anti-Mubarak protests in 2011.

Code Pink and the far left has had a long relationship with the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood terror group. They held a joint anti-Mubarak protest together back in 2008.
Code Pink also works with President Barack Obama and leading elected Democratic Party officials.
Benjamin said she borrowed a cellphone to send out tweets and photos from her cell. She complained about the food and water.
Code Pink national organizer Alli McCracken relayed messages between Benjamin and other Code Pink leaders. One message was from Ann Wright, who is slated to be part of the delegation to Gaza, advising to not inform the press so as to allow the other delegates to fly in to Cairo unmolested by the Egyptian government: “also Ann says we should wait to alert the press until the next wave of the delegation has gone in. is that ok?”
(Update): Code Pink put out a tweet on the group’s official Twitter feed stating Benjamin was not arrested, but was being detained:
“Folks, @medeabenjamin has not been arrested, but detained in Cairo airport cell 2 prevent her from going to #Gaza. Details to come.”
She sounds like a perfect candidate for post-term abortion.
At all hours of the day and night.

Is there any hope they can put her on trial and keep her there.
This person is such a dangerous and destructive creature.
Rachel Corrie wannabe?
LOL! Not such a nice thought, but on the other hand she sure does love attention!
Doing a Virginia and Maryland ping here. Know many Freepers up there who kept the Code Pinko’s away from out heroes at Walter Reed! They will be happy to hear this news!
Off with her head!
BS.
Isn’t this the country where they like to greet their women vistors personally? Very personally?
She must have forgotten her headscarf while parading around in her vagina costume.
Sounds good to me!

Medea is a bleeping traitoress....

That is what I would term a “Best Case Scenario”.
Dial her number and say “I’d like a large pepperoni pizza delivered to so and so address”’ then hang up.
Somewhere Deming is smiling.
