My friend Alaa Abdel Fattah has been held in an Egyptian prisions for a decade for posting information online about democracy and civil rights. This is a real case where somebody has been jailed for simply what they’ve said on social media. He called out government for their abuses of power and demanded the right of Egyptians to have the right to protest and elect their leaders.

He’s also an open source developer, hacker, husband & father, and one of the nicest people i’ve ever met. More people need to know about his plight and demand that he and all political prisioners get freed.
