More on missing blogger
p2p news / p2pnet: Here’s more from Miss Mabrouk on Abdolkarim Nabil Seliman, the Egytpian blogger who’s been missing since being picked up by Egyptian state security forces.
"The police have finally confirmed that they have him," she tells p2pnet. "But it is not clear in which detention center he is held.
"Human Right’s organizations says the best hope for him is if he is transferred from the detention under emergency laws where he is now and put in front of a public prosecutor; he can expect up to five years."
But while you’re thinking about Seliman, don’t forget Abd al-Raziq al-Mansuri in Libya.

Abdolkarim is Not Coming Out This Year
By Ritzy – Miss Mabrouk
The good news is that Abdolkarim’s brother has spoken to the police who now have confirmed that the 21 year old blogger in fact is currently being detained. It is not clear in which detention centre he is held.
The bad news is that Abdolkarim is not coming out this year. That’s according to Human Rights activists who also said the best chance for Abdolkarim is to get him out of the ‘emergency-law’ detention and into a court to be tried for religious contempt. That would give him a sentence of between six months and five years; his young age and the recent sectarian strife in his neighborhood will hopefully result in a short sentence.
