Not forgotten
Kareem is an Egyptian blogger that was sentenced for 4 years in jail because his advocacy for human rights. On November 9th, the Free Kareem organization coordinating world wide rallies, pleading the Egyptian government to release him. I will not be able to participate in the NY rally, as I will be on my way to Israel, but the least I can do is spread the word.
More details, and rally information, should be published here.

wait, is this the same Kareem last year who got detained? goes to show I’ve had too much going on and did not pay close enough attention.. I know last year some other (or the same??) Egyptian bloggers got detained and ’someone’ (since I don’t remember anymore) got released later on.. However, considering the state of affairs in Egypt, there will always be a blogger detained as long as people speak up. They (egyptian bloggers) sure are courageous,
happy trails Rogel,

It is the same person, Ingrid, and sadly but he wasn’t released.
