Knowing that the nomination to the prize has gone through all the legal procedures as well as voting as a last step, and that any case filed by any citizen whether being serious, being a publicity seeker or driven by animosity to freedom of thought should not be addressing intellectuals\u2019 writings but addressing the procedural work of the nominating committee.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since the campaign in solidarity with Qemany and Hanafi has started ,pioneer institutions and activists received many messages in support of this campaign, and requests to join from activists and human rights institutions in and out of Egypt, in support of freedom of thought and scientific research and against \u201cHesba\u201d cases which have grown to be the most serious obstacles against freedom of opinion and expression in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign in support of intellectuals asserts on steady hard work to exhibit how \u201cHesba\u201d cases are so threatening to the freedom of thought and freedom of expression in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign holds on to the principle that the discussions, vision debates, and intellectual disagreements should not be held in law courts, but rather in intellectual and cultural forums.<\/p>\n<p>Resorting to courts in response to ideas, is an attempt of gagging and blacking out minds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pioneer organizations<\/p>\n<p>Hisham Mubarak Law Center<\/p>\n<p>Association For Freedom of Thought and Expression<\/p>\n<p>The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information<\/p>\n<p>Al Helaly Institute for Freedoms<\/p>\n<p>Bodies Joining in<\/p>\n<p>Human Rights First Association &#8211; Saudi Arabia<\/p>\n<p>Bahrain Youth Association For Human Rights<\/p>\n<p>Bahrain Center For Human Rights<\/p>\n<p>The Egyptian Center For Education Right<\/p>\n<p>Tunisian Observatory For Rights And Union Freedoms<\/p>\n<p>HUMANITARIAN LAW &amp; HUMAN RIGHTS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Activists Joining in<\/p>\n<p>Ibrahim Abd Al Rahman \u2013 Lawyer<\/p>\n<p>Saeed Aref \u2013 Lawyer<\/p>\n<p>Samir Al Bagoury &#8211; Lawyer<\/p>\n<p>To Join<\/p>\n<p>Please write to<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@afteegypt.org\">info@afteegypt.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:hmlc@link.net\">hmlc@link.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@anhri.net\">info@anhri.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>or Call :<\/p>\n<p>Association For Freedom of Thought and Expression: (202)33308441<\/p>\n<p>Hisham Mubarak Law Center: (202) 57589082<\/p>\n<p>The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information: (202) 27736177<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cairo , 3\/11\/2009 Human rights organizations and activists involved in the campaign in solidarity with Sayed ElQemany and Hassan Hanafi and against \u201cHesba\u201d cases in Egypt, said that the administrative court decided to defer the case filed by a citizen requesting the ministry of culture to withdraw the State Merit prizes that have been awarded [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"yes","_lmt_disable":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[986],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-statements-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
