The latest victim is Kareem el-Beheiri, who was transferred two days ago from his job at the secretariat department to the spinning sector.

Prosecutor orders Moneim’s release
MABROOOOOOOOUK!
More details soon!
UPDATE: It’s confirmed. The Public Prosecutor has ordered Moneim’s release today!
It’s a great day for all those who care about freedom in Egypt. I personally wanna thank every single person who was involved in the solidarity campaign. If it wasn’t for the support Moneim received from his activists inside and outside the country, our blogo-brother would have stayed in Mubarak’s Gulag for months, if not years… and he could have been tortured again.
Let’s not forget their are other political detainees still left behind in prison. They include students, doctors, engineers, teachers–repectable citizens of this country, who dared to raise their voices against the corrupt regime that rules us.
I know also we all want to celebrate, but let’s postpone this till Moneim is actually free. Remember, you don’t just get released from prison right away. They refer detainees to State Security HQ first, then they take them to their local police stations. Last year, our friends Alaa, Malek, and other Kefaya detainees were beaten up in the police stations prior to their release.
We’ll always stand united against Mubarak’s dictatorship.
Blogger interrogated; released on bail
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.
