Judge Abdel Fattah Mourad, who is crusading for the closure of 21 blogs and websites, has filed a new lawsuit against Bloggers Alaa Seif, his wife Manal Hassan, and lawyer Gamal Eid, the director of HR-Info. The judge is accusing the three of libel during the last court session, where actually the judge assaulted blogger Rami Siyam who video-recorded him with a mobile phone.
