Kareem about to spend 600th day in prison – GET INVOLVED!
Kareem is an Egyptian blogger who was arrested and sentenced to 4 years in prison merely for expressing his opinions on a personal blog and some political sites.
Kareem has been arrested since November 6th, 2006. He is about to spend his 600th day in prison! We are planning an event for this day and hope that you will all be involved.
Here are the details.
Date: Saturday, the 28th of June
Occasion: Day 600 for Kareem in prison!
Theme: Increase awareness for Kareem in prison, and get in touch with him!
How you can get involved:
On the 28th, dedicate a post on your blog/website to Kareem.
You can do this in two ways:
Option 1: Write a post/letter directly to or about Kareem. Make people aware of what Kareem is going through. Express your opinions or concerns over the fact that he is still in prison just for sharing his personal views on radical Islam, extremism within Al Azhar, and the president of Egypt.
Option 2: Write about something controversial, fearlessly, the same way as Kareem did (whether be it about free speech, human rights, religious freedom, political rights, et al) and then dedicate this post to him.
You may also choose to directly write to Kareem using the following address:
Prisoner Abdul Kareem Nabil Suleiman
Alexandria
Borg Al-Arab Prison
Room 1 Section 22
The Arab Republic of Egypt
Please attach the Arabic address on your letter:

Kareem will be an icon for freedom when all this nonsense is over.
count me in!!! will be sure to get involved. what a great initiative!!
How Nice it would be if he is freed as a sign of Good Will toward the youth. He is not a criminal, he shared his opinion with others, well, one can answer him back, not a good opinion? condemn what he said, but give him another chance.
Bless you for every effort to help Kareem and others who are in trouble.
I just learned of this today but I will be posting Kareem’s situation on my site and continue to monitor his progress.
