Muslim sex-attack victim, Lara Logan of CBS News, to interpret event on 60 Minutes

CBS Reporter, Lara Logan, Recounts ‘Merciless’ Assault in Egypt

By Brian Stetler in the New York Times 28 April 2011

Lara Logan recovering from sex-assault in Egypt's Tahrir Square.

“My clothes were torn to pieces,” Ms. Logan said.

She declined to go into more detail about the assault but said: “What really struck me was how merciless they were. They really enjoyed my pain and suffering. It incited them to more violence.”

After being rescued by a group of civilians and Egyptian soldiers, she was swiftly flown back to the United States.

“She was quite traumatized, as you can imagine, for a period of time,” Mr. Fager said. Ms. Logan said she decided almost immediately that she would speak out about sexual violence both on behalf of other journalists and on behalf of “millions of voiceless women who are subjected to attacks like this and worse.”
