Wednesday’s protest by the three comes amid growing criticism of the military’s handling of Egypt’s post-uprising transition period.
The three — Belal Fadl, Omer Taher and Nagla Bedir — publish their columns daily in the independent Al-Tahrir.
They have criticized policies adopted by the generals who took over after Hosni Mubarak stepped down in February following the 18-day popular uprising.
Authorities last week stopped the publication of an article critical of Egypt’s intelligence service, which is traditionally led by a military officer.
