Why DON’T DONATE? Simply because We don’t need money, we want you to TAKE ACTION!
Abdel Monem Mahmoud, sits in jail since April 15th, 2007. His only crime was his desire for a more open Egyptian society. We cannot let the regime succeed in silencing him. We all have to show the Egyptian regime that when you imprison a blogger, you don’t silence his voice, you AMPLIFY it! By taking action! Here’s what you can do:
→If you would like to get involved in the campaign (by translating, writing, designing, maintaining the blog or making video, audio, podcasting, networking, etc.) or have any feedback to offer on how we can make the site better, please use the contact form below or email Free Monem Campaign Coordinator, Nora Younis at:
→You can spread the word by video: visit our Video & Multimedia page; choose the video you want, copy and past the appropriate HTML code into the desired location on your blog and you are good to go.
→ Add the Free Monem quote randomizer badge to your blog’s sidebar, and let’s make sure he gets his freedom by broadcasting his words every day. You can get the badge here on our “banner and badges” page or you can just insert the following embed code into your blog:
This is the badge in action:
→ Re-publish Monem’s posts on your own blog: Our team of volunteers from around the world has been translating Monem’s posts so millions of new readers can read his censored speech. Let’s show Mubarak that his attempt to silence this blogger has been completely counterproductive. Instead of reducing the number of people who read Monem’s words, let’s make sure that the number of readers increases… exponentially!
It’s easy to take part! Just pick a post by Monem from the list below and copy and paste the whole thing (or an excerpt) into your own blog. It would also be great if you could tag your post (using Technorati or deli.cio.us) with the words “FreeMonem” to help us keep track of how many people take part in this action:
- Free the Brothers…Free Abdel Kareem… Free Egypt 3/7/07 (one of our favorites -Monem calls for jailed blogger Kareem’s release and points out how secularists and Islamists face the same oppression by the Mubarak’s regime)
- The Fourth Anniversary of the Torture of Detainee #25 4/14/07 (essential reading - moving account of torture by Egyptian security forces during his imprisonment in 2003 )
- Alexandria University Detour 11/1/06 (frustration with the Muslim Brotherhood at his university and a call for Egyptians to demand their freedom… excerpt)
- Birds’ Voices 2/12/07 (how blogging is changing the Muslim Brotherhood… excerpt)
