Graphic novel on trial

Today Magdy Al Shafee and his publisher are going to court to face charges of "indecency" against the graphic novel "Metro" (which I reviewed last summer). 

Here's a statement by Words without Borders (which published translated portions of the graphic novel) and the author. There's also a Facebook group you can join to follow the case/show support.
