Imrisoned Saudi Blogger Appeal

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Thursday February 07, 2008 14:15author by Joe Report this post to the editors

On December 11, one of the Arab world's top bloggers Fouad Al-Farhan was arrested by the Saudi Interior Ministry. A successful hi-tech entrepreneur, Fouad was arrested at his office and his computers seized. He was detained after refusing to apologize for blog posts criticizing Saudi officials. Fouad remains held in an undisclosed location.

This coming Sunday February 10th marks the end of the second month which Saudi Blogger Fouad Al-Farhan spends in detention without being charged. Therefore; we invite all bloggers to participate in week long event which we are calling: "Fouad's Week", in which we are going to embrace "We Are All Fouads" as a slogan.

The event will take place between Saturday Feb 9th and Friday Feb 15th.

Goals of this Event:

1- Let Fouad rest assured that he WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN, this is the only thing he asked for before his detention.

2- Send a message to those who detained him: "Violating ones right to speak peacefully and freely, will only support his message, and give it a burst of momentum"

How to Participate:

1- Copy and paste one of Fouad's posts from his old or new blog, and publish it in your own blog.

2- Don't forget to trackback this post, so your participation will be counted. If your blog does not support pings, please add a comment here showing a link to your post.

3- You can post daily, or just once, but please participate. Together we can make our voices be heard.
