08/05/2012

CAIRO, (PIC)-- A galaxy of Arab businessmen deplored the Egyptian security authorities for detaining them inside a hotel in Ismailia city and barring them from leaving it to anywhere.

The Egyptian security authorities confined the businessmen to a hotel after it had prevented them from entering the Gaza Strip to attend a conference on investment in Palestine which will kick off on Tuesday.

Spokesman for the businessmen Khaled Ter'ani told Quds Press that there are about 180 businessmen and Moroccan lawmakers under custody in a hotel in Ismailia until they are deported to their countries.
