استطاع الفكر الجديد ان ينتقل للعالمية بكفاءة عالية كما يظهر في الصورة التي نشرتها الاسوشيتدبرس والتي تظهر النجاح الباهر للفكر الجديد في الانتقال بأفراد بسطاء (لموهم من على القهاوي) ليس فقط ليعلنوا لبعض المتظاهرين رأي الفكر الجديد في المثقفين والنشطاء المصريين بل استطاعوا بذات الكفاءة ان يعلنوا ذلك للعالم اجمع بلغة تفهمها اغلب دول العالم بمنتهى السهولة وتقدم صورة واضحة للفكر الجديد
ترى أي انجازات اخرى سننتظر تحت حكم الفكر الجديد
لمن لا يعرفون الكثير عن بيانات منظمة العفو الدولية فهي دائما ما تسعى الى ضمان المصداقية إلى اقصى ما تستطيع لذا فان تقاريرها دائما ما تأخذ وقائع محددة جدا حتى تتمكن من النحقق من صحتها بالاضافة الى مراعاة الحيدة مما يجعلها تختار العبارات باسلوب قد يصل ،في رأيي، إلى درجة الجفاف الشديد ولكن مما لا شك فيه ان ما تعلنه يأخذ مصداقية كبيرة لدى العالم

Egypt: Intimidation and assault on journalists and peaceful demonstrators must stop
Amnesty International expresses its support for the Egyptian NGO community in its continued call for freedom of expression and respect for human rights and the rule of law in Egypt, and calls on the authorities to investigate the recent allegations of physical and sexual assaults and to stop intimidation of the political opponents in the country.
Scores of demonstrators calling for the boycott of the referendum on constitutional reform were reportedly physically assaulted by supporters of the ruling political party, the National Democratic Party (NDP) on the day of the referendum on 25 May. Amongst those assaulted were women and journalists working for national newspapers, including Nawal ‘Ali,‘Abeer al-‘Askary, Hany al-‘Asr, Iman Taha Kamel and Abdel Halim Qandil. Some of these assaults happened in front of the Journalists’ Syndicate Office and reportedly in the presence of security officers, who apparently did not interfere to protect those being assaulted.
This intimidation still continues. On 3 June, student of Arabic language at al-Azhar University, Muhammad Hassan Sayyid al-Sharqawi, was arrested in the centre of the Capital Cairo and taken to State Security Intelligence headquarter. He was detained allegedly because of articles he wrote on the internet. Muhammad al-Sharqawi was released later on the same day.
Amnesty International urges the Egyptian authorities to conduct immediate, full and independent investigations into the above assaults and bring those responsible to justice. It also reiterates its call for the authorities to repeal or review all legislations which unduly restrict the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly, contrary to Egypt’s obligations under international law.
Background:
In February 2005, President Hosni Mubarak put a proposal before parliament to amend Article 76 of the Egyptian Constitution in order to allow for multi-candidate presidential elections. While welcoming this, some political and human rights activists considered the proposal “insufficient” and demonstrated in favour of greater political reform and the lifting of the state of emergency. Some, including a number of opposition parties as well as the Muslim Brotherhood, also called for a boycott of the referendum. Thousands of the demonstrators, who were mostly supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, were arrested early last month, continuing a pattern which has seen previous mass arrests of Muslim Brothers at the time of presidential and parliamentary elections. According to official sources, the amendment of Article 76 of the Constitution was approved by more than 80 per cent of the votes cast.
Despite President Mubarak’s introduction in February of a bill abolishing prison terms for publishing offences, journalists continued to be imprisoned, fined for libel, threatened and beaten. The crews and journalists of international TV channels have also been stopped and detained for hours in apparent attempt to prevent them from reporting on demonstrations or referendum-related gatherings. The proposed bill is still under review after more than a year of its introduction.
NGOs also continue to operate under the restrictive NGO law introduced in June 2002. Under this law, NGOs had to apply to the Ministry of Social Affairs in order to officially register. Those whose applications were rejected and who continued to operate were liable to prosecution.

These 2 links are made to campaign for sigantures to ask for the freedom of 2 iranian bloggers, who didn't do any crime except using their freedom of speech in using the blogs, the campaign coordiantors are aiming to collect 1000 sigantures, but I think the number should be much higher than this

وجدت أنه من الأفضل قبل أن أكمل الموضوع الذي بدأه أن أنشر هذا البيان:ا
An Irani blogger had been arrested and send to jail for 2 years for the thoughts he published on his blog !!!
This information I view on this site samienejad if anyone have any information on this subject please inform us about it,
and if this info is true, God help these countries (including ours), I don't know where are we heading to !!
I have to admit they I recently discovered this blog world, and I found it really fascinating, I spend long time reading, admiring, laughing, and feel as if I’m with a group of my close friends, my best friend tell me that we’ll sure find out at the end that we all know each other, or at least friends of friends, simply because we speak the same language, may be those are the blogs that I read, and I was very encouraged to comment at others blog, I feel that I share there lives and conversations, and than I thought of having my blog, and I stopped to think what should I write, I know like you are starting to discover that I usually write "long speeches” or a sort of “ articles” but I don’t feel that’s the best way to use the blog, we can all read articles in magazines, and newspapers, but the beauty of the blog, is to become a sort of unorganized feelings and thoughts, may be we take someone idea and try to put it in order, and to discuss it with him, but the base is to just get things out, and think loudly and watch the beauty of the human brain in words, that can be a great achievement, but …
Again another but :)
When I follow all the blogs that I like these days, I don’t find thoughts, nor beauty, I only see news and anger, everyone is talking about whats going in Egypt, and not what’s going in our lives, nor our brains, and I said that’s not what I want to do I want the blog to be different, and I decided to write in any different thing than what’s happening, is that possible ???????????????????
Of course not, how can we be living in that time where the Egyptian people finally started to move, and think of different things?! Frankly I couldn’t think or write in different things although I really wanted to, however all what I managed to do is to write those thoughts, to introduce my blog, and I can’t express it in a way better than Socrates words (Socrates the blogger and not the philosopher :) ) I’’ll borrow only few words:
يمكن في وقت تاني
كنا ملينا بالحب المدونات
واتكلمنا عن العشق والحكايات
… … …
لكن في ناس خلت كل المدونات
حزن ونكدوهم وكمد
وناس بتصرخ بكل اللغات
… … …
شعر عشق ما تلاقيش
كلام في الحب مافيش
حب وقت الحرب؟ ما تجيش
واللي نصبح فيه، فيه نبات
… … …
يا ناس يا هووه
حاكموه
إللي خللى جيل شباب
بحاله عنده اكتئاب
