Free Kareem! - Security officers broke into Kareem’s prison cell, confiscated his letters and destroyed his writings

The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information released a statement today noting further deplorable violations of Kareem’s rights. Security officers of the Borj al Arab prison broke into his prison cell and took away his letters of support, which Kareem has been receiving from around the world.

They also confiscated his notebook, where he keeps his personal thoughts in an attempt to cope with his unjust imprisonment. They have done this for no apparent reason than to abuse a free speech advocate who remains imprisoned since November 6, 2006 merely for his blog posts.

This is not the first time it has happened. In August 2008, some of Kareem’s books and other reading materials were arbitrarily confiscated.

Kareem has completed more than 3/4 of his sentence, however he is still not being released.

This is evil. I am so sorry I didn't even know about Kareem til just now, your blog by accident. I will attempt to send him letters. This is terrible, we must demand our governments pressure Egypt to ensure his safety and release.

kareem, this realm is not going to last, hang on, buddy, we – those of us who know about you, and your plight, – are with you and will fight for you. There is an Almighty All Powerful Creator Who has all of this wickedness being recorded…and they'll have hell to pay for doing this evil to you and all others

Know that He loves you
