I’m posting a part of the message I received from a blogger in Cairo, who has family friends with the Boulaq el-Dakrour Police Sadist Islam Nabih…

It appears that through his father’s connections with wazir al-dakhliya (the Interior Minister), Islam is actually in a mu3askar (camp), somewhere along taree2 masr iskindirya (Cairo - Alexandria desert road) and his punishment is not being able to leave its premises. and it seems that since he’s served a year and a half (jail time), that he will be ‘released’ during the next major holiday - probably el eid el-sughayar (Eid el-Fitr). His father has also appealed and there’s a chance that Islam will come out innocent, and because aslan (in the first place) he hasn’t been put in a real jail, he’s going to be able to go back to his police job 3ady (normally).

Can some journalist in Cairo follow up on this?
