<p>Ayman Mohyeldin, an Al Jazeera correspondent who was detained while covering the unrest in Egypt, has been released.</p>
<p>He was seized by the Egyptian military near Tahrir Square in Cairo on  Sunday, but was freed seven hours later following a concerted appeal by  the network and supporters of Mohyeldin.</p>
<p>There had been <a class="InternalLink" href="http://www.petitiononline.com/LSal92/petition.html" target="_blank">many calls</a> on Twitter for the release of Mohyeldin, who has more than 20,000 followers on <a class="InternalLink" href="http://twitter.com/#%21/AymanM" target="_blank">his page</a>.</p>
<p>Dozens of journalists have been detained, injured and threated while  covering events in Egypt, where hundreds of thousands of people have  taken to the streets calling for an end to the 30-year rule of Hosni  Mubarak, the president.</p>
<p>Nadia el-Awady, president of the World Federation of Science  Journalists, told Al Jazeera that both foreign and Egyptian media  workers were being specifically targeted during the protests.</p>
<p>Speaking about her experiences reporting from Tahrir Square, she  said: &#8220;There were pro-Mubarak civilian-clothed people planted within the  square that were trying to instigate other protesters to get angry.</p>
<p>&#8220;They tried to create this kind of mob mentality among protesters to get angry at the journalists.&#8221;</p>
<p>Al Jazeera, which has dedicated rolling coverage to the uprising in  Egypt, has several times been targeted by Egyptian security forces.</p>
<p>Abdel Fattah Fayed, the channel&#8217;s Cairo bureau chief, and Mohammed  Fawi, a journalist, were arrested on Saturday but later released.</p>
<p>Other journalists from the channel have also been briefly detained  and last week armed men attacked the Cairo bureau, destroying some  equipment.</td>
