On the upcoming Friday, ten American and European capitals will be witnessing large-scale demonstrations in front of Egyptian Embassies. These demonstrations are in protest of limiting freedom of opinion and speech, repressing bloggers, and transgressing their blogs.

Global Voices, a Canada-based blog, is setting up the communications between the human rights organizations and all blogs around the world to gather in front of Egyptian Embassies in Vienna, Brussels, Ontario, Prague, Athens, Rome, Bucharest, Stockholm, and London, as well as the Egyptian Embassy Cultural Office in Washington.

Bloggers have invited others to participate in these demonstrations with the purpose of applying pressure on the Egyptian government to release jailed bloggers from prison, among them [Abdul] Kareem Nabeel, who is charged with insulting the President of the Republic and the Islamic religion.
