A major foreign correspondent of CBS News, Lara Logan, told the New York sexual Timesl'agression which she suffered in Cairo on February 11, in an interview published Thursday. "For a very long time, they raped me with their hands," he told the newspaper reporter who believes that the assault lasted about forty minutes and was conducted by a group of two to three hundred men.
CBS had at the time of the facts stated that the journalist was rescued "by a group of about twenty women and Egyptian soldiers." Lara Logan, who was hospitalized after his repatriation to the United States and returned to work this month, will recount the horror she experienced in the next edition of the show "60 Minutes" Sunday.
She was on Tahrir Square, the center of the dispute that led to the downfall of the regime of Hosni Mubarak, preparing a story, when the atmosphere around it has suddenly changed, reports the NYT. "There was a time when everything started to go wrong," she recalls. The Egyptian colleagues who accompanied the film crew have heard men talk about their desire to undress, according to the newspaper.
She then abruptly separated from his colleagues and his bodyguard by a group of men who tore his clothes and began touching her and beat her, the paper said. "For producer Max McClellan, see the bodyguard of Lara emerge from this group without it was the worst moment," said CBS president Jeff Fager.
The drama that Lara Logan has lived in Cairo emphasized the silence that covers sexual violence suffered by women journalists on assignment. "We only have our word," said Lara Logan. "The physical injuries heal. We do not walk with the evidence when we lost a leg or an arm in Afghanistan," she says.
