Amnesty expresses concern for Kareem in a recent report about global internet censorship
June 7th, 2007According to today’s Telegraph:
[Amnesty] cited research by an academic study group, the Open Net Initiative, that at least 25 national governments employed filtering technology for censorship.
They included Iran, Burma, and Saudi Arabia but also western-oriented democracies such as India and South Korea.
It also highlighted the fate of Abdul Kareem Nabeel Suleiman, a 22-year-old Egyptian blogger, who was sentenced to four years imprisonment in February.

This wouldn’t be happening if we continue to stand up against this injustice and initiate campaigns such as this one directed to free victims of censorship.
Please visit this campaign as well, where we help our Chinese friends to free 4 unfortunate victims of China’s many crimes against free speech.

Why do they do this? Do they think they win anything? This is how they just get more and more people read these things. And this is how they just ruined the life of one young man. :

I recommend that you contact Amnesty International and ask them to include this matter in their Urgent Action, which is a really effective way to help these kind of situations.
Best wishes to all people helping Kareem!
