Kareem’s Case Featured on CNN!
March 13th, 2007*** To our new visitors who watched the CNN segment: Welcome to our Web site! You can learn how you can help Kareem by visiting our action center: What You Can Do. ***
Kareem was on one of the main headlines on CNN.com this morning. A video of his trial is available: Cairo Cracks Down on Bloggers.
The video includes:
- Footage of Kareem in court on February 22;
- Prosecuting lawyer Mohamed Dawoud’s statement: “I hope every judge, if they get a similar case, will give the same judgment, based on the wishes of God.”;
- Elijah Zarwan, of Human Rights Watch in Cairo, tells CNN: Kareem’s imprisonment is a “chilling precedent”;
- Interviews with other Egyptian bloggers; and
- Coverage of FreeKareem.org!
However, a clarification is in order: The reporter remarked that Kareem’ blog “may be closed”. Kareem’s blog is not shut down. It is available here, and we have provided translations for some of his articles.
UPDATE: Now on YouTube as well:
