Blogger denied university entrance

Blogger Amr Salama was denied admission to Sinai University and was interrogated about his political writings when he applied to the Canadian University in Cairo, according to statements he gave to Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, or ANHRI. His blog "Lesa 3aish" touches politically sensitive issues such as Egypt's prevention of humanitarian aid to Palestine and treatment of Bedouins. ANHRI said that Egyptian security had previously forced the closing of his blog.
