[...] For bloggeren Ala’a Abdulfattah, som selv ble fengslet i fjor for politisk aktivisme, er det det ene året Kareem fikk for å ha fornærmet presidenten som var mest sjokkerende: Det fortelles om en mann som en dag bestemte seg for å forsøke å bli president. Det hemmelige politiet fanget ham og spurte om han var en idiot. Mannen svarte: Er det et krav? Jeg skulle ønske at de som arbeider mot Abdul Kareems rettssak og fengsling kunne fokusere litt mer på denne detaljen om at han skal tilbringe et år i fengsel for å fornærme presidenten (…) Jeg håper du tenker på hvor mange andre mennesker i Egypt denne unnskyldningen vil bli brukt mot når en dom som denne kan avsies uten noe særlig støy.

[...] Even as Hao Wu is still held by the authorities, a prominent Egyptian blogger Alaa is held by the authorities in his country. The Skeptic writes When I first met Alaa in the summer of 2005, I told him I was worried the government would crack down on the Kifaya protesters after the elections, when the world’s attention was elsewhere. I asked him if he was worried about what would happen if that came to pass: Many of the protesters were young, they had never been in jail, they didn’t know what could happen to them. He said he believed that it was too late for the government to put an end to the protests, that once people had tasted a bit of freedom, the regime couldn’t roll it back. [...]
