After hours of announcing that she ended her contract with ONTV , Lebanese TV Liliane Daoud host was arrested from her house in front of her little girl and is currently detained to be deported from Egypt.
According to her lawyer Zyad El-elaimy , 8 men claiming to be from "Passports investigations" raided her house arresting her in order to be deported.
They did not let her contact anyone.
Daoud had to leave her girl at her house where she was taken somewhere
It was unclear where or why she is detained.
At nearly 11 PM Cairo local , El-eliamy who is also a renowned political activist and former MP announced that Liliane Daoud called him while she was on a board of a plane heading to Beirut !!
Aside from all the politics, Liliane is a mother of an Egyptian girl and has got a residence permit.
She is not a foreigner whose residence permit will expire as soon as she leaves her job in an Egyptian company !!!
Sources in General Prosecution told journalist Alwaleed Ismail that no arrest warrant had been issued for her.
On the other hand , unnamed informed sources told Ahram Arabic website that she would leave soon to Beirut because after ending her contract with ONTV , she had nothing to stay for in Egypt !!!
Those sources ignore the fact that she is the mother of an Egyptian child !!
Liliane, a Lebanese-British veteran BBC TV host and broadcast journalist came and settled down in Egypt since 2011.
She used to work in private-owned TV channel "ONTV" since June 2011.
After July 2013 and the absence of Reem Magued and then the departure of Yosri Fouad from ONTV and departure of Mahmoud Saad from Al-Nahar TV , Liliane Daoud's show "The complete picture" was from the very few shows " You can count them on your hand and probably they were less than 5 !!" that gave opposition figures and activists an opportunity to speak on air.
Here is an interview she made and popped out in my head when I read her arrest news : An interview with Street Children troupe.
5 members of the street art performance troupe are now referred to State security prosecution for a number of charges !!
Daoud was constantly under attack thanks to the xenophobic Pro-regime supporters who used to troll her online calling the authorities to kick her out of the country.
They are even trolling her ex-husband , journalist Khaled Al-Barry online now !!!
Earlier Monday, Liliane Daoud announced that she ended her contract with ONTV after 5 years of working in the famous Private Egyptian TV channel.
Liliane Daoud's account is suspended right now.
The decision of Liliane did not surprise me , many expected her to resign and to leave the TV channel after it was fully acquired by Pro-regime steel tycoon and new media mogul Ahmed Abu-Hashima.
Abu Hashima acquired the once Pro-revolution Liberal TV channel from its former owner Naguib Sawiris in May.
I am currently working on a long post about Abu-Hashima and his new media empire in Egypt.A little hint : Abu Hashima funds Future of homeland party, the close-to-presidency party.
