The following is research published today from MEMRI’s Special Dispatch Series and the MEMRI TV Project. *Special Dispatch Series Special Dispatch No. 3756—Egypt Egyptian Military Council Moves to Ban Criticism Of It: Egyptian Blogger Arrested for 'Insulting the Army' On March 28, 2011, Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil was arrested for "insulting the army" and "harming public security" on his English-language blog (www.maikelnabil.com) and on his Facebook page (facebook.com/MaikelNabilSanad). According to an April 6, 2011 report in the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, he has been brought to trial and a verdict was to be issued on April 10. Human rights activists and groups have demanded that the military release Nabil; Human Rights Watch called the arrest a "dangerous precedent at a time when Egypt is trying to distance itself from the abuses of the Mubarak era." Nabil has denied administering or contributing to the post in question. One of the posts in the blog is an extensive overview of the Egyptian revolution, with a particularly critical view of the Egyptian military's conduct before, during, and following the revolution. It accuses the military of brutality and even of killing protesters, and of continuing the dictatorial tactics of former president Hosni Mubarak even after his ouster. The post claims that the military only refrained from wide-scale violence during the revolution because it realized it could not suppress the protestors through force. Accordingly, it said, the military adopted a policy of suppression, while allowing the police and pro-Mubarak "thugs" to brutalize the protesters. The article also accuses the military of encouraging and even participating in sectarian violence.
