A Day of Action for Kareem

Today bloggers are rallying in support of jailed Egyptian Blogger Kareem. You can read more about the case and, if you wish, help here. This BBC News report gives the background:

An Egyptian court has sentenced a blogger to four years' prison for insulting Islam and the president.
Abdel Kareem Soliman's trial was the first time that a blogger had been prosecuted in Egypt. He had used his web log to criticise the country's top Islamic institution, al-Azhar university and President Hosni Mubarak, whom he called a dictator. A human rights group called the verdict "very tough" and a "strong message" to Egypt's thousands of bloggers.
