Abdolkarim Nabil Seliman

Just emailed the Australian Egyptian Embassy. Feel free to copy paste/edit to preference (addresses here if anyone feels moved to write). Will update.

Dear Consul

I am writing regarding a recently detained Egyptian internet diarist, Abdolkarim Nabil Seliman.

Of course I would prefer he was not held in detention at all, but short of that am emailing your office to enquire after his welfare and to find out how the Embassy might be monitoring the situation.

Please reply at your earliest convenience.

Regards

Emigre Lucere

Not forgetting Abd al-Raziq al-Mansuri, seasoned Libyan dissident.

Update: Looking for words? Wondering how to appeal to an ambassador? It doesn't matter what you write, it's the expression of concern that counts. There's a great letter attached to the petition explaining the situation too.
