Arrest of Reformist Blogger Sparks Criticism in Egyptian Press
On February 22, 2007, Egyptian blogger Abdelkareem
Nabil Suleiman, known by his web-pseudonym Karim Amer, was sentenced by
an Egyptian court to four years in prison for "disparaging religions"
and "insulting President Mubarak."
In response, several columnists in the Egyptian press wrote critical
articles, in which they denounced the curtailing of freedom of
expression in Egypt and called to pass laws protecting the bloggers' rights.
