Committee to Protect Bloggers
September 1st, 2007CPB is back and we are honored to be their sponsors for this very important project. You can read their latest article about Kareem here.
It’s no wonder why we jumped at the opportunity. With Kareem still in prison, and the disappointingly silent regional blogosphere turning a blind eye, thus forgetting the fight for this brave, innocent, and deserving young man, we can anticipate more bloggers being thrown in prison. Our governments are now assured that they can get away with it.
It’s important for our readers to realize that we are not fighting merely for an individual; we are fighting for the rights of everyone within the region to be able to express their opinion in the condition that they do not preach and incite violence or racism (and Kareem did neither.)
A great way to get involved in the fight for the basic right of free speech and blogger freedom is to get involved in the next worldwide rally for Kareem, where supporters from all over the world can spread their concerns directly to the authorities via Egyptian embassies and offices in its various locations.
