Cairo, EGYPT
Fax: (+20) 22 412 0980 (ask for fax)
Dear General Attorney,
I hereby urgently call upon you to immediately and unconditionally release Maikel Nabil Sanad!
Maikel Nabil Sanad has been unfairly tried in a military court, although he is a civilian. He was sentenced in absence both of him and his lawyers to 3 years in military jail - merely for expressing his critical opinion on the way the Egyptian army dealt with protesters. This criticism has been on the internet a thousand times by many bloggers. There is no justification to jail this one blogger for his critical views that many others too have expressed without having been arrested and sentenced. It is also a violation of the Interim Constitutional Declaration that the SCAF has guaranteed to the Egyptian people to be valid and respected by the army!
Maikel Nabil Sanad has been in hunger and thirst strike, has suffered a coma and is in prison hospital. His life is in danger. Should anything happen to him, the SCAF will be fully responsible for his injuries or even his death!
Please ensure immediately that Maikel Nabil Sanad is receiving adequate medical care and release him on the grounds that no civilian in the post-revolutionary Egypt should be sentenced in an unfair military trial for expressing his personal views and opinions!
Your sincerely

Dear Prime Minister,
I hereby urgently ask you to engage yourself in the immediate and unconditional release of the blogger Maikel Nabil Sanad!

Maikel Nabil Sanad has been in hunger and thirst strike, has suffered a coma and is in prison hospital. His life is in danger. Should anything happen to him, the SCAF will be fully responsible for his injuries or even his death! But his death - as already now his jailing and critical health condition - will tarnish Egypt's reputation throughout the world!
Please ensure immediately that Maikel Nabil Sanad is receiving adequate medical care and call upon the SCAF to release him on the grounds that no civilian in the post-revolutionary Egypt should be sentenced in an unfair military trial for expressing his personal views and opinions!
In Tahrir sq. you vowed to be on the side of the revolution. The imprisonment of a blogger is not what this revolution fought for. Nor - as you can imagine - is his injury or even his death!
Your sincerely
