Egyptian blogger detained over religious views
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
An Egyptian student was arrested by security services over articles that he posted on his Internet blog about recent religious violence in the city of Alexandria.
The Association for Human Rights Legal Aid (AHRLA) "today sent a letter to the attorney general demanding a probe into the arrest of Abdel Karim Nabil Suleiman," the group's chairman Taker Khater said Monday.
He said state security forces burst into the 21-year-old's home in Alexandria on October 26 and took him away "because of his recent Internet articles on the incidents" in the Mediterranean city.
