The fact that American authorities are showing such strong interest in Amer will be of great influence in this disturbing case.

I wonder if this influence will be positive or negative, if may anti-americanism turns good will counterwise..

I am not too optimistic about this case. In my opinion, Amer should leave the country and try to seek asylum in either Europe or the US as soon as possible. He has no future in this country now. The authorities will destroy his life whether he is released from prison or not,” Hossam El-Hamalawy, blog moderator of http://www.arabawy.net told The Daily Star Egypt.

That’s been my opinion too – I deeply hope that Kareem gets free, but then it would be wise to leave the country as soon as possible & act from a safe place outside Egypts reach. – to return – if ever – only if there’s a radical change in Egypts government & politics..
