Rally]<http://social.bureaucrash.com/events/event/show?id=2310103%3AEvent%3A136256&xgi=0sx8l4uJzogohF>
*Time:* November 6, 2009 from 12pm to 1pm
*Location:* Egyptian Cultural & Educational Bureau
*Organized By:* Lee Doren
*Event Description:*
Kareem was arrested on the 6th of November, 2006, hence the date of this
coming rally. He was sentenced to one year in prison for "insulting the
president of Egypt" and 3 years for criticizing Islam, a total of 4 years in
prison. He was only 22 at the time of his arrest. He remains in prison and
to this day is the first blogger in the Arab world who was officially
sentenced to prison merely for his personal blog posts. In 2007 there was
evidence of him being tortured. Egypt is praised by the UN for their
commitment to human rights, but where is that commitment when no one has a
right to free speech? Why is Kareem still in prison if the Egyptian
government supposedly respects individual rights and guarantees freedom of
expression?
