November 9 will mark 1 year in jail for an innocent young man, sentenced to four years in prison for expressing his opinions on his blog.

Raja Kamal of the University of Chicago and I told the story in “[Freedom for an Egyptian Blogger and Freethinker](https://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=8015)” last February in the *Washington Post*. You can get more details, including how you can help take part in a dignified protest for human rights, write letters to Egyptian officials, and more, at [www​.freeka​reem​.org](http://www.freekareem.org/).
