They are joining their egyptian and american counterparts in their efforts to free Alaa, which is awesome to see. From Lebanon's Mustapha and Kais to Jordan's Ahmad , Khlidah , Hal and Roba to Saudi's Farooha to Bahrain's Mahmood to even arabs abroad , they are all as angry as we all are about Alaa's arrest, and showing solidarity by helping spread the word.
I can't thank you enough, any of you. You guys rock!
Update: I forgot to add Lebanon's Raja and Tony and Syria's Ammar . My bad. you know you guys rock too. And Ammar and Raja, if you are going to the demonstration, me wants to see some pics, ok?
Update: This is taking on a life of its own. Hiatham and Mustapha and others have created a Free Alaa blog . This is unbelievabley awesome!
Update: Tunisia is in the House. Awesome!

I’m trying to get some other Danish bloggers to take up the story, and will continue following the story myself, in all cases.

Tunisians are awake and present.
Finally we ‘ve got so much in common : lots of hope and a dictator to smash our hopes up against the walls of prisons.
