Karim Ashraf Mohamed al-Banna was arrested with a group of people at a cafe in November, according to the Association for Freedom of Thought and Expression. An Egyptian minor offenses court sentenced him on blasphemy charges Saturday in what Human Rights Watch called "part of a wider government push to combat atheism and other forms of dissent."

I use to love the old Egypt and how advanced it was, but now its fallen in the shithouse.

Crackdown on sanity. Great. I don't know how a country thinks it can be taken seriously when it's regressed so far.
