Free Kareem Day – London February 19th, 2007

The February 15 London rally organizer, Andrew Perraut, reports on the event with positive news:

I’m happy to report that it went very well. We had fewer people than expected, but it was a good group, with representatives from LSE, Amnesty International, the Institute for Economic Affairs, and the International Policy Network. We also attracted a writer for the Index on Censorship–he tells me that they are watching Kareem’s case very closely and are considering naming his as one of the most important cases of the year. There was also a documentary filmmaker who has produced a piece on Egyptian bloggers; she hopes to have segments including our rally aired on BBC 4.

We handed out quite a few fliers and got support from some of the people passing by. Our group was directly across from the Embassy and looking into their windows, which they quickly closed. Still, people from the inside were watching us through the curtains almost constantly, and one woman from the Embassy came outside to take some of our fliers. I’ve attached some pictures of the rally for you to see.

And here are the pictures, with thanks to Andrew and Blogosfere:

    I have not completly read what this man has said but to be put in prison for voicing an oppinion is wrong, people may not agree with him but its a massive failure for human rights and the good of the so called FREE world if we cannot make the envolved government see sense. if what he is saying is so controversial we should debate it in an open forum so everyone can have their say and everyone can make up their own minds on what to believe and think.. i really dont think that egypt is so fragile that the rant of a young person can hurt it, it should be discussed. The one worrying thing i found from this story is that the mans father has called for his own son to be killed, surly the egyption government should have something to say about this and surely this is further proof that religeon is getting to big for its boots or mabee the basics of the religon are being twisted so that people can be killed or imprisioned in the name of a GOD? Religion it seems to me is the starter of wars and bringer of suffering, and i applaud the free society i live in that lets me be able to say what iam thinking.. thanks
