Special report on Kareem at the Listening Post
This week on Listening Post: How the Egyptian government are keeping tabs on internet use, and punishing those who are accused of misusing it.
We have a special report on the case of imprisoned Egyptian blogger Kareem Amer. Jailed in 2006 for, apparently, “inciting hatred of Islam” and “insulting” President Hosni Mubarak, Kareem’s case has thrown into stark relief the power of the state to exert control over new media. And what effect is this case having on cyber dissidents still operating in Egypt? read more »
DENIED: Egypt Bloggers Plan Parallel Torture Film Festival
Egypt: Bloggers Plan Parallel Film Festival on Police Torture:
Egyptian bloggers have announced that, while the Cairo film festival is taking place from 27 November to 7 December, they will hold a parallel festival in which a “Golden Whip” will be awarded to the best video showing “controversial acts of torture allegedly committed by the security authorities.”
Two policemen received three-month jail sentences on 5 November for mistreating a detainee. A video of the incident, filmed with a mobile phone, caused an outcry among human rights activists and enabled identification of the two police officers. read more »

An important question to Abdel Moneim Mahmoud
Dear Moneim,
As an expression of friendship and respect to my friends and some visitors, I have put an end to the “Islam Electronica” project, and have removed both the video and MP3 file.
If you take the time to read the discussion that took place during the Project, you’ll realize that it occasionned a variety of opinions: some were cross, some were surprised but smiled at me, some were very happy, some were opposed but with a mind open to discussion, and… finally there those whose comments expressed nervosity and stiffness. read more »

Islam Electronica Project
Closed / مغلق
****************************
This is an open discussion aiming at understanding our relationship to modernity. Islam is in many ways hypermodern.
I, as a an artist, wish to participate and celebrate my religion, just as other muslims use new technologies to discuss, celebrate and explain Islam. If Islam uses Flash Animations, PHP, LINUX and Chatrooms, can I sing and use my electronic music tools ?
Thanks for watching this video and participating in a friendly way.

Egyptian Police Intimidation of Wael Abbas (Video)
Egyptian Police Intimidation of Wael Abbas
The Egyptian Police is attempting to intimidate our fellow blogger Wael Abbas. Wael has provided us with precious recordings (click to listen to the arabic phone conversation) exposing the unlawful and disgusting ways of our local Police and Secret Services. These are certainly not the ways of a nation sitting at the United Nation’s Council for Human Rights, since May 17th, 2007.

Emad el Kabeer actor of the year/Islam Nabih Reda Fathi Mubarak
No, the Torture video of Emad Kabeer was not an enactment or a forgery:
Background:Emad Kabeer is a young Egyptian bus driver who had been arrested for no reasonable charges, then tortured and raped by Egyptian police.
A few months ago a video was released on the Internet by blogger Wael Abbas, showing the entire scene in its unbearable crudity.
This video (1) made it possible to identify and arrest two of the torturers: Islam Nabih and Reda Fathi. read more »

A freedom and peaceful march song against President Mubarak’s totalitarian regime, against police brutality in Egypt, against corruption and a whole bunch of sweet details that are hardly speakable.
