We would like to correct Spiegel Online in their report about Kareem:
It is well after midnight when Abdel Kareem Sulaiman, 22, gets some uninvited company. Suddenly the door to his apartment bursts open and a squad of Egyptian security police officers storms into the room and arrests the drowsy Sulaiman on the spot.
This is not what happened.
Kareem went to the Prosecution Office with a lawyer, as stated here many times before. Please do not dramatize the situation for whatever purpose, we would like Kareem’s case to remain accurate at all times.
IRIN Middle East: Weekly update of human rights violations in the region:
CAIRO, (IRIN) – In Egypt, Human Rights Watch (HRW) denounced the sentencing on 31 October of former President Anwar al-Sadat’s nephew, Talaat al-Sadat, after being convicted by a military court of insulting the military and the Republican Guard.
HRW condemned the conviction of al-Sadat, who is a prominent parliamentarian. Al-Sadat’s prosecution and sentence [sends] a chilling message to anyone who dares to raise sensitive issues in Egypt. No one should be tried in a military court or any other court for criticising a public institution or a public official, said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East Director of the New York-based rights group.
Meanwhile, local NGO Human Rights Info denounced the arrest of a prominent secularist blogger for his views on Egypt’s religious establishment. Alexandrian blogger Abd el-Karim Suleiman, who was arrested on Monday, is being investigated on five charges, which include incitement to hate Islam and spreading malicious rumours that disrupt public security.
We are very concerned that he is going to be charged officially with blasphemy a charge which can carry the death penalty in Egypt, Human Rights Info spokeswoman Dalia Ziada told IRIN.
Over 1,400 people have signed the petition for Kareem so far. Thank you all for your much needed support! If you haven’t signed this petition yet – please consider doing so.
As this following letter shows, Kareem is still not doing very well. Please keep your thoughts and prayers with him. For the previous 2 letters by Kareem: #1, and #2
