Arabisc: Culprits, Democracy and the Rule of Law · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Choosing links from 22 different Arab countries for translation is no easy feat..for however much you try and be selective, you cannot be doing the region and its bloggers any justice.
Today I have selected the following links, each highlighting a different woe Arab bloggers have to deal with.
Our first stop is at a hot spot with Shalash Al Iraqi from Iraq, who gives us a bitter taste of the reality he lives in as he sees his country being torn apart in front of his very own eyes.
The culprits Your Excellency are members of your government and agencies as well as gangs run by political parties in your government. You are the culprits for you came to office at the beat of their drums. The young and the old know who the culprits are except for you. I don't know why you don't know them, I swear to Allah (God) I don't,” wrote Shalash.
From Iraq we move to its more affluent and secure neighbour Kuwait, where Sahat Al Safat wonders whether the Kuwaiti parliament would be dissolved or not, following a run in with the government.
The issue in question leads to a discussion of the essence of democracy and what it really means.
From Kuwait, we move to nearby Saudi Arabia, where Abu Joori, tells us of the plight of three Saudi political activists who are being banned from travelling outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for five years!
While we are in the area, we might as well stop by the Man of Freedom, a Saudi student who traveled to Kuwait and wrote about his impressions of the country.
He lists what he saw in Kuwait in points and here are some of his observations:
Despite his praise for the country, Man of Freedom or Abdulla Al Dammak, isn't happy with the fashions and dress code of young Kuwaiti men and women.
And last but not least, I would like to stop once again this week in Egypt, where bloggers and activists are continuing to collide head on with authorities.
Two activists were arrested for taking part in a rally called for by a movement known as The Street is Ours, which aims to bring peace and stablity to women in downtown Cairo after what is now referred to as the Downtown Cairo Sexual Harrassment incidents.
Sharkawy tell us about the detention and final release of both Nadia Mabrook and Waleed Salah the next day.
Meanwhile, Abdul Kareem Nabil Sulaiman is continuing his stint behind bars for expressing his thoughts on his blog.
A support site launched to drum up support for his cause posts a letter Karim wrote in jail.
Kareem also describes his surroundings and the inhumane conditions prisoners, even those in custody are subjected to.
