A Blogger Might Die For His Writing

He's going to jail, and there are calls to put him to death. Yet the blogosphere, the Tech blogosphere, the Left blogosphere, and most of the Right, just don't seem to care. Boing Boing has extensive linkage about Egyptian blogger Kareem Amer, and what he faces, for sharing thoughts about political oppression, discrimination against women, and more on his blog. Much more at Free Kareem!.

Update: Global Voices has a post sharing other Egyptian bloggers speaking out. via Ed Cone.

Wow, this is the first I've heard of this. Once I get my new place up, will blog it.

Why aren't more "names" writing on this?

I don't know why more aren't talking about this.

Fear most likely.
