Egypt: Murad and the Freedom of Speech

Judge Murad lost his case and the court ruled in favour of freedom of speech. The Administrative Judicial Court issued a sentence in Case No. 15575 / 61, which was brought by Judge Abdul Fattah Murad calling for banning the 51 websites on the Internet in Egypt. You can read the Sandmonkey's post about it here, as well as the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (HRINFO) press release here.

    This is exceptionally good news, provided the Egyptian government truly implements it. Though I’ll not hold my breath. It is my belief that certain basic freedoms were given to each of us by our Creator. These freedoms are like an inheritance from God so that we can be all that we were created to be. These basic freedoms are not for any human being to take away from another. It is my belief that it is against God to do so.
