A Free Kareem supporter, Gavril Huiber from Romania, shares the following letter:

“On February 20 I wrote to the Egyptian Embassy in Bucharest with a request that they intercede on behalf of Kareem, as it would have been the right thing to do. They ignored that request, so I am about to write another.

Please tell Kareem that he is not alone. The whole civilized world is with him and with the good people of Egypt on this.”

Her previous letter:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request that you intercede on behalf of Abdul Kareem Nabeel Suleiman, who is standing trial accused of contempt of the Islamic religion, harming the reputation of Egypt, and inciting to disrupt the peace and to overthrow the regime.

The charges are absurd. The accused is a college student with a blog and the courage to speak his mind. He is not Egypt’s public enemy. He has, in fact, conducted himself as one of your nation’s finest: he has stated that he believes women and men should be treated equally; that Islamic extremism is gravely hurting Arab society; and that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. Those are things to be shouted from rooftops, not grounds for criminal proceedings. Kareem is walking the path of the righteous. Egypt should be proud.

Please do the right thing. It is bad enough that Kareem has now been abandoned by his own family, and that even if the judge will decide to throw out all the charges, he may still be gunned down by some fanatic. Help free Abdul Kareem, and give him adequate protection. No decent Egyptian should live in fear of either his government or his fellow citizens.

Thank you,

Gavril Huiber
