All those who read my blog probably know by now that I am not politically oriented in any direction. Regardless of the reasons; my blog is purely directed towards culture related issues and relationships between genders in our Arab Muslim communities.

Having clarified that; I can get to the purpose I am posting about this.

I was approached by fellow bloggers from Egypt to post about Alaa Abd El Fatah who is one of the first and prominent bloggers in Egypt. Alaa was detained while participating in a peaceful protest as the links stated below.

I am responding to the kind request that I received so that more people can read about this and contact the Egyptian embassies to demand release of Alaa. You can find all the details and contact information in these links below.

Good luck to all.
