Abdel Kareem Nabil
Egyptian blogger Abdel Kareem Nabil has been charged with religion disdain, insulting the president, attempts to flare up sectarian unrest and turmoil and disrupting public security. Nabil was a law student at al-Azhar University, accusing it of promoting radical ideas and suppressing free thought. He was expelled and in his last blog entry before his arrest blamed al-Azhar for pushing the government to investigate him.
In other postings, Nabil described Mubarak’s regime as a “symbol of dictatorship.’’ Nabil was briefly detained in late 2005 after posting a commentary on riots in which angry Muslim worshippers attacked a Coptic Christian church over a play put on by Christians deemed offensive to Islam. “Muslims revealed their true ugly face and appeared to all the world that they are full of brutality, barbarism and inhumanity,’’ Nabil said of the October 2005 riots.
