WASHINGTON, March 25 (UPI) -- 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan has been admitted to a Washington, D.C.-area hospital over complications from a 2011 sexual assault while on assignment in Egypt.

"We were sorry to learn that Lara was readmitted to the hospital," a 60 Minutes spokesperson said in a statement. "We wish her a speedy recovery."

Logan, 43, was reporting from Tahrir Square in 2011, when large crowds gathered to celebrated the resignation of then-President Hosni Mubarak. After she became separated from her crew, she was beaten and sexually assaulted by a large group of men.

Logan was hospitalized for four days directly after the incident, but has returned to the hospital several times over complications from her assault.

On Feb. 27, she was taken to the hospital with internal bleeding.

"People have no idea the physical suffering she has been enduring due to the brutal sexual assault she encountered in Egypt," Logan's friend, Ed Butowsky, told Breitbart News, which first reported her hospitalization Monday.
