Manifestation Supporting Kareem To Be Held in Stockholm February 19th, 2007

Our wonderful friends in Sweden inform us that a manifestation in support for Kareem will be held on Wednesday, February 21st outside the Egyptian Embassy in Stockholm. Speakers will include a member of the Swedish Parliament, Fredrik Malm, and Johan Norberg (who has met Kareem). I encourage anyone near the area to attend.

Here are the details on the event (thanks to Johan and Jonas):

The Egyptian blogger Abdelkareem 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

Speakers:

Henrik Alexandersson, blogger

Fredrik Malm, Member of Parliament

Johan Norberg, author

Organiser: Jonas Virdalm, <virdalm[at]runbox[dot]com>

    Eftersom jag inte bor i Stockolm så kan jag tyvärr inte delta. Men jag skulle ha deltagit om jag hade kunnat. Jag deltar genom att skriva detta medelande. Kareem måste friges. Jag protesterar mot Egyptens myndigheters maktmissbruk. Ingen människa vill vara fånge. Alla hederliga människor har rätt att vara fria. Detta gäller också Kareem.

    To those who did not understand the previous comment by Anders Johansson, I shall be happy to translate:

    “As I do not live in Stockholm I unfortunately can not participate. But I would have participated if I had been able to. I participate by writing this message. Kareem must be set free. I protest against the Egyptian authorities’ abuse of power. No man should be a prisoner. All honest people have the right to be free. This goes for Kareem as well.”

    We will of course make pictures available to publish here. To all of you who have the possibility to attend, please join us to show your support for Kareem.

    It’s amazing how powerful the “word” is.
