After 10 days in captivity, Google employee Wael Ghonim was released by Egyptian authorities today, the company announced.
The Dubai-based marketing executive went missing on Jan. 28, three days after protests erupted across Egypt, prompting a fervent manhunt throughout Cairo. During Ghonim's absence, Google issued a public appeal for information regarding his whereabouts.
Egyptian state television announced Sunday evening that newly appointed Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq had contacted the station to report that Ghonim would be released Monday afternoon, in turn providing the "first admission from the government that the missing Egyptian had been in custody for more than a week," CNN reported.
After being released, Ghonim, who had run afoul of Egyptian authorities for his use of social networking sites like Twitter to promote political reform, returned to the microblogging site almost at once.
