Mubarak Maybe Gone. Has Anything Changed?

Beginning on January 25 protesters occupied Cairo's Tahrir square by the middle of February Mubarak has resigned leaving the Egyptian military as the interim government. But, the abuses perpetuated by the Mubarak regime don't seem to have ended with the change in government.

Egyptian pacifist and blogger Maikel Nabil faces trial on Wednesday at a military court for “insulting the military” and “disturbing public security” because of his latest blog entry “The army and the people wasn’t ever one hand.” Nabil was taken from his home and detained on March 28.

Nabil’s blog entry is a study on the Egyptian military’s actions before, during and after the revolution. He supported his argument with links to articles and videos.

“This is a well-researched piece. I see no reason for his trial. Freedom of expression gives him the right to criticize the military,” Andreas Speck from War Resisters International (WRI), who travelled to Cairo to follow up on the case, told Ahram Online. War Resisters’ International (WRI) is an international anti-war organization with members and affiliates in over thirty countries.
