Saving Bloggers

You'll want to read this shocking post:

The arrival of the individual preceded the formation of the societal organization, and this formation is what founded the law. And as is known, one of the most important functions that this organization was formed for is the protection of the rights of the individuals from degradation under the protection of the law. Therefore, it is the individual, whose arrival had preceded these legislations, who must enjoy sanctity and respect, and not the law (the follower), which is supposed to protect the rights of the individuals, not degrade these rights.

Regardless of whether this law is a custom, a religious legislation, or positivistic, it cannot, under any circumstances, be placed above human beings, and it cannot be pressed on them, on their desires, or on their wills in life. Laws are nothing but deaf, rigid provisions, whereas the human being is a mass of live emotions which we have no right to press on it this deaf entity, and we have no right to submit him through its provisions.

The young man who wrote this appeal to Humanism is now sitting in an Egyptian Jail. The Committee to Protect Bloggers and others hope you'll send him a letter to boost his spirits and to let the Egyptian bigots, er, authorities know that people care about Kareem Amer.

Here's how to do it:

    Alexandria
    Borg Al-Arab Prison
    Room 1 Section 22
    Prisoner Abdul Kareem Nabil Suleiman
    The Arab Republic of Egypt

    Kareem’s address in Arabic - mandatory to include on envelope
