Second Round of Worldwide Rallies: We Need YOUR Help!
March 25th, 2007Dear Supporter of Kareem Amer:
On February 15, rallies were held in front of Egyptian Embassies around the world in Washington, D.C., Paris, London, Rome, and New York City. Demonstrations were also held on other dates in Bahrain, Stockholm, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Most recently, Reporters Without Borders, along with well-known French bloggers, held a surprise demonstration for Kareem at Paris’ world tourism trade fair.
The Free Kareem Coalition has been contacting individuals around the world who have expressed interest in holding rallies next month at Egyptian Embassies and Consulates in their country of residence.
We believe that all freedom-loving individuals need to make their voices heard with the rest of the world. The date of the worldwide demonstrations has been tentatively set to Friday, April 27, 2007.
Any form of support from you, be it your presence in the rally, promoting it, or organizing one in your area, would be a great boost to our cause to free Kareem Amer. If you can help in any way, please let us know!
We are excited to have you involved. Kareem deserves our support. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Esra’a Al Shafei, Director and Administrator
Mohammed Shouman, Editor and Administrator
