Urgent Request – Flood the jail with mail

Dear friends,

A few days ago, news broke out that Security officers of the Borj al Arab prison broke into Kareem’s prison cell and took away his letters of support, which Kareem has been receiving from around the world.

They also confiscated his notebook, where he keeps his personal thoughts in an attempt to cope with his unjust imprisonment. They have done this for no apparent reason than to abuse a free speech advocate who remains imprisoned since November 6, 2006 merely for his blog posts.

This is not the first time it has happened. In August 2008, some of Kareem’s books and other reading materials were arbitrarily confiscated.

We call upon you to take action: Flood the Jail with Mail, by sending letters of support directly to Kareem!

For Kareem’s address and to read more about this campaign, please visit this page.

We need your support! Please circulate this news and get others involved! Don’t let Kareem go through this alone.
