Student blogger arrested for "spreading malicious rumors"
By Alexandra Sandels
A former student at Al-Azhar University, Abdel Karim Amer was
reportedly expelled from the school in March 2006 because of his
secular thoughts and online writings and critiques of Islam
Abdel Karim Suliman Amer, also known as "Kareem Amer," a student
blogger, was detained Monday by state authorities and is being held in
custody for four days awaiting prosecution for his secular online
writings in which he criticizes Islam, his lawyer told The Daily Star
Egypt.
"Freedom of expression is a basic human right. We believe that Kareem
Amer has the absolute right to express his personal views. This case
is a clear violation of universal human rights principles," Amer's
lawyer Rawda Amed, says in an interview with The Daily Star Egypt.
A former student at Al-Azhar University, Amer was reportedly expelled
from the school in March 2006 because of his secular thoughts and
online writings and critiques of Islam.
Following interrogations between Amer and his professors at Al-Azhar,
the school filed a communiqué against Amer to the Office of the Public
Prosecutor for his online writings.
"It is regrettable and shameful for a university to punish one of its
students for practicing his basic right to freedom of expression. The
university did not only dismiss him, but also did not hesitate to take
up the role of an informer by filing a communiqué against him to the
Public Prosecutor Office.
"Amer is targeted because he expressed his own views," executive
director of the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, Gamal
Eid, argues.
Amer is currently accused of: "Spreading data and malicious rumors
that disrupt public security"; "defaming the president of Egypt";
"incitement to overthrow the regime upon hatred and contempt"; and
"incitement to hate 'Islam' and breach of the public peace standards."
He is currently being held in custody for four days, pending
investigation and prosecution.
