This case is extremely important. The fates of a young man **and** of freedom of speech are at stake. Abdelkareem Nabil Soliman will be sentenced on Thursday for alleged crimes in Egypt, including insulting the president. Please read about his case at [http://​www​.freeka​reem​.org/](http://www.freekareem.org/).

Please send a respectful letter by fax or email to the [Egyptian Embassy ](http://www.egyptembassy.net/contactus.cfm)requesting that the Egyptian government correct the error of arresting him and allow him his freedom.
