Salaam,
I am very sad to know today that alaa (Alaa Abd El-Fatah), a well-known
contributor to gnu/linux arabization has been detained from a slashdot
article (
http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/08/1054237)
Though I have no relation personally with alaa and I don't agree with all his
ideals and opinions, I don't see a reason that he should be punished like
this. I really hope he would be released soon so he can continue his
contribution to free software movement and free speech.
