Ibrahim el-Hodeiby called me to confirm that the State Security Prosecutor has ordered today the release of our friend Khaled Hamza, the editor of Ikhwan Web.
Of course this does not mean necessarily that Khaled will be released right away, as we all know and experienced Mubarak’s pigs respect for the “law.” Let’s hope the release doesn’t get stalled.
It’s again a sad day for Egypt, with those military tribunals verdict. Ibrahim would like to thank all leftist bloggers and activists who expressed their solidarity with the MB detainees, and he’s hoping this support will continue.
And remember, if we stay silent in front of this, we will end up in the same cage tomorrow. My solidarity goes to the MB and political detainees in Mubarak’s gulag.
