Blogger and poet jailed in Egypt for exercising free speech

An Egyptian court has sentenced a blogger to four years' prison for insulting Islam and the President Hosni Mubarak.

Abdel Kareem Soliman's trial was the first time that a blogger had been prosecuted in Egypt.

He had used his web log to criticise the country's top Islamic institution, al-Azhar university and President Hosni Mubarak, whom he called a dictator. He received a four year sentence after a 5 minute trail.

A civil servant in Egypt has also been jailed for three years for insulting President Hosni Mubarak in a poem.

Moneer Said Hanna's family said he wrote satirical poetry for fun and never meant to hurt anyone.
