The Abbassiya Prosecutor interrogated today blogger Amr Gharbeia on charges of libel, part of the crackdown on the blogosphere orchestrated by Judge Abdel Fattah Murad. The interrogation lasted for two hours and half, after which Amr was released on a LE200 bail.
The prosecutor tried to force Amr into handing out the IP addresses of readers who posted comments on his blog, but Amr rightly refused.
The interrogation will be resumed next Tuesday with Amr, together with leftist lawyers Gamal Eid and Ahmad Seif el-Islam, against whom Judge Murad is trying to fabricate charges of blackmail.
