(Undated) -- Three American University students arrested amid clashes in the Egyptian capital a week ago are back on American soil. Derrik Sweeney says the time they spent in jail was a nightmare.
He said, "We spent about six hours that first night in nearly fetal positions, sort of, with our hands behind our backs in the dark, and they were behind us and it was very scary."
Sweeney, Gregory Porter and Luke Gates all arrived back in the U.S. over the weekend after a judge released them Friday. The three were being held in Cairo on charges of throwing Molotov cocktails at Egyptian security forces during mass protests in the city. All three maintain they are innocent.
