My advice to anyone that cares about common interest and is angry over what is happening in our country and keeps on writing at internet forums using a pseudonym is to join the blogging world and write using his real name to contribute positively in building the Saudi blogosphere.Fouad

In Saudi Arabia, there is no guarantee that you won’t be arrested because of your frankness and speaking your mind on your blog. But there is also no guarantee when you hide and write in internet forums using a pseudonym.

[ Quotes from Fouad - Free Fouad! ]

Sono due mesi che Fouad è detenuto senza che siano state formalizzate accuse nei suoi confronti. Rimane valido quanto detto. Questa settimana, come proposto dal sito Free Fouad, pubblicherò dei post che riprenderanno le 25 ragioni per cui Fouad ritiene valido scrivere un blog. Sto cercando di ripubblicare dei post traducendo dall’arabo in inglese e poi in italiano ma i risultati al momento non sono incoraggianti, se qualcuno lo facesse ottenendo risultati accettabili mi offro da subito per ri-pubblicarli.
