"Bloggers Thrown In Jail"

"Egypt. A [appellations]court has set the punishment to four years for a young Egyptian blogger. The 22 year old Abd el-Karim Suleiman was convicted last month* of having insulted the religion and backbited the president. An appeal was made but was rejected by the court yesterday, stated his attorney."
