Blogger Jailed for 4 years – Abdel Kareem Nabil

February 24, 2007 //  Leave a Comment

It never fails to amaze me how Governments are able to jail and silence anyone who disagrees with their doctrines.

An Egyptian student, Abdel Kareem Nabil has been jailed for 4 years for expressing his views
in his blog about fundamentalism, conservative Muslim movements and denouncing the Sharia Law as it applies to women.

In one post to his blog, he called Al-Azhar University “the university of terrorism” suggesting it encouraged extremism.

So much for freedom of speech as it applies to blogging. This medium is considered to be a place where you can say pretty much what you like about how you feel about things. Well maybe not.

The world is full of injustice.
