Free Kareem! - Renowned Egyptian author cites Kareem as an example of Egypt’s lack of free speech

Alaa Al Aswany is an up and coming Egyptian author, who, in an article detailing his writing career, mentions Kareem briefly as to why young bloggers are at risk in Egypt:

Al Aswany concedes that his success may have given him greater freedom as a writer. “A young blogger could be arrested easily.” He cites Kareem Amer, serving four years in jail for a blog deemed insulting to religion and the president, and his own friend Ibrahim Issa, editor-in-chief of the oppositional daily Al-Dustour, who is facing a six-month prison sentence for speculating on the health of the elderly president. “It’s a pretext – they wanted him in prison by any means.”
