CAIRO, Egypt - Wael Abbas hasn't been arrested by Egyptian police, but the blogger fears it could happen any day. A democracy activist who never leaves home without a camera, he has drawn the attention of state security by posting videos that show what many Egyptians only talk about behind closed doors — police brutality and male harassment of women on the street, such as fondling.

As one of the NowPublic editors, I’ve flagged your item as Incomplete.
From your experienced place in online media, you must have some pertinent observations to make by way of an intro to this (visual smorgasboard) story that would increase its overall value.
Please feel free to write your own comment in response, but first check out NowPublic news values and our Code of Conduct. These will make your stuff better.
