[liberationtech] (This message is more Liberation than Tech) Re: LibTech organizations outreach to Stanford students

[Kate Krauss]

Hi Zak,

For this club and others--At the liberation end of liberation tech, there
is a need  for more online social media advocacy for Egyptian activists who
are stuck in prison. Here is a short piece I just uploaded to Medium about
one guy, a 26 year-old Egyptian-American named Mohamed Soltan.

“Shot by Both Sides: An American Activist in Egypt”
<https://medium.com/@aidspol/shot-by-both-sides-an-american-activist-in-egypt-1bda14429957>

Here is an article about him from AFP <http://www.afp.com/en/node/2919681>:

There are lots more Egyptian activists who could use international
solidarity online; trying to spread the word,

Thanks,

Katie
