Egyptian Bloggers

This story from the BBC news homepage interested me; it's about Egyptian Bloggers who use their blogs as a platform for discussing political issues and debates that many people in their country are afraid to discuss. One student in particular is standing trial for religious contempt for expressing his views on his blog. Some bloggers are discussing political and human rights issues, giving eyewitness accounts and footage to events which have been denied by the authorities. I feel lucky to live in a country where I have an automatic right to freedom of speech and thought. Hopefully bloggers will change the world eventually.
