Dear Alaa.. (And the Other Freedom Fighters in Egypt and Elsewhere)

May 18th, 2006 by saraghorab

Hello, my dear Egyptian blogging brother.

I just read your blog from prison, and how it hadn’t really sunk in that you were there.

I read some comments from people cheering you on, and others who thought that thirty days were nothing, and still others who asked you to say “hi” to Ayman Nour.

I’ve browsed through blog postings of people who have known about your news from the moment it happened, and others who didn’t know until they talked to me.

“Sara, can it be true? Alaa is the most famous Egyptian blogger in the world! They COULDN’T have snatched him and his crew off the street, could they??”

But they could. And they did.
