Egyptian Blogger Jailed
Feb 22, 2007
An Egyptian blogger found guilty of insulting both Islam and the country's president has been jailed for four years, Reuters reports.
The intended result:
One anonymous blogger told the news agency: "It's a dangerous precedent because it will impact the only free space available now, which is the internet. The charges were undefined and vague. Tell me. What does insulting the president mean? What is the difference between criticising religion and being in contempt of religion?"
