Rusty Humphries detained in Egypt

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Fred Stiening

Details are still sketchy – it seems that Rusty was checking out Freedom in Egypt and stumbled into something he shouldn’t have.    Rusty has been detained along with his (female) producer from WGST-AM in Atlanta.    Perhaps someone asked him “Is that your wife with you?”

    Let’s hope they “new democrats” in Egypt don’t perform a “Lara Logan” procedure on Rusty and his producer.

    Has there been any new word as to Rusty’s status?
    This is very disturbing!

    Rusty and Jennifer were released unharmed. Here is the link to the story update from 640 WGST in Atlanta.

      This was their message last Friday. Looks like they pretty much knew what to expect

      “This is it!  Rusty and Jennifer Perry are off to Israel, where they hope to get into just enough trouble to make it interesting, but not enough trouble to be detained in the Middle East for any length of time.”
