Free Kareem! - Free Kareem Day

Liberté Chérie, a libertarian federation of associations based in France, reported the on the success of their Paris rally on Free Kareem Day:

The manifestation for Kareem took place as expected on Thursday at noon, despite the fact [that] the Ministère de l’Intérieur was a bit reluctant at letting us approach too close to the Egyptian embassy. But the policemen were on our side, so all diplomatic vehicles in the vicinity got a “Free Kareem” leaflet for meditation.

One hundred full-size posters were stuck on the walls near the Place de l’Etoile / Arc de Triomphe (with adhesive tape on Kareem’s mouth, as a symbol). An Iranian girl and two Egyptians we met in the street even helped us distribute our leaflets!
