The Egyptian blogger abdelkareem!

Jag har kopierat detta från Johan Norbergs sida! Tyvärr kan jag själv inte medverka. Men ser ni detta, delta om ni kan!

- MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR KAREEM
Several times I have written about the Egyptian blogger Abdelkareem, who has been detained since November because he spoke his mind. On February 22nd Kareem will be the first Egyptian to stand trial for Internet-based journalism. Because of his arguments for secularism, women’s rights and free speech this 22-year old blogger faces up to 11 years in jail. More information here.
Right now several Swedish bloggers and others are preparing a protest against this attack on freedom of expression. Please help us to show support for human rights in Egypt. Mark your calendar, and if you are a blogger, please spread the word.
Meet us outside the Egyptian Embassy
Strandvägen 35, Stockholm Wednesday, 21 February, 12.00
