An important factor in contemporary Egyptian society is the severe economic crisis which results in high unemployment and thus necessitates delayed marriage.

The religious standpoint is unequivocal: no sex outside wedlock. W...

Iraq Colony Celebrates Three Years of US-Style Democracy, Repression.
2007-08-28 00:00:00 Three years after the initial invasion of Iraq by the US-led forces of the Western imperium the country is reportedly teetering on the brink of civil war. In the aftermath of the explosion of the Shrine of the tenth and eleventh Imans a month ago, a significant site for both Shia and Sunni Moslems, there are daily reports of assassination style killings. Mass graves containing dozens of bodies are found in the mornings outside Baghdad after nights of secularist carnage. Beyond a small section of central Baghdad the West's control is fragmented, and deadly traps await US troops and Iraqi authorities on all roads out of the capital city. President George W Bush has marked the three-year anniversary of Iraq's occupation with a speech in which he congratulated troops and generals alike for their work in quickly and effectively rebuilding the ancient country in America's image.

And that's a far worse crime.Amnesty, though, is on the case.The worst we have to deal with when we step out of line is Leighton Andrews getting a bit cross. But in China and Egypt people are sent to jail just for having their say. And Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google help to put them there.There will be a live internet solidarity event on Wednesday 6 June at 18:30. In the meantime, check out their website: irrepressible.info
