Egyptian Blogger in Trouble

Extreme Mortman quotes the Washington Post:

A former college student, Abdelkareem Nabil Soliman, is sitting in an Egyptian prison, awaiting sentencing tomorrow. His alleged “crime”: expressing his opinions on a blog. His mistake: having the courage to do so under his own name. … Whether or not we agree with the opinions that Abdelkareem Nabil Soliman expressed is not the issue. What matters is a principle: People should be free to express their opinions without fear of being imprisoned or killed. Blogging should not be a crime.

As educational bloggers I wonder if there's any way that we can bring the attention of the world to this individual.

What about having students write their congressman asking for intervention?
What about having students write the Egyptian Embassy?

If it's not this issue, we should really find an issue that as educational bloggers we want to change and do something about it. Truthfully, we've got far more influence than just about any other blogging groups. For most of us have dozens of students whom we work with.
