Egypt blogger jailed

February 22nd, 2007 by Wendy McAuliffe

News has just broken that an Egyptian blogger has been sentenced to four years in jail for writing posts that insulted both Islam and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Abdel Karim Suleiman, a 22-year-old former law student, was the first blogger to stand trial in Egypt for his freedom of speech on the web.

Jon Snow will be highlighting the case on Channel 4 News tonight – a report that will be well worth watching I suspect.
