Solidarity with Alaa Abdel Fattah

Alaa Abdel Fattah, a liberal bloger and internet journalist is thrown into prison, because he took part on demonstrations against the military powers in egypt. The courts, still controlled by the military power, blame him for calling the masses for violence. A lot of egyptians are fighting for him to come out of prison and to abolish the undemocratic system of law. On the website of the german newsletter “Die Tageszeitung” we found an campaign for supporting Alaa and other acitivists and journalists, which have been thrown into prison. The campain includes a petition, to free all journalists and their assistents, which are cought by egyptian police an military power.
