Did you join the blogging protest?

The folks behind the Free Fouad website have asked if anyone had participated in the day of blogging silence on January 6. I believe that they do want a link where the campaign banner was (which I forgot to mention on the day, unfortunately, in my haste to join in). Still, maybe recording your blog URL there in the comments might not be a bad idea so they know who had participated.

Free Fouad!

Fouad Alfarhan is a Saudi blogger who has been writing to advocate greater freedom in his country. He was arrested without charge on December 11. Some bloggers have gotten together to deem today (Sunday, January 6) a day of silence, so after this post, I will not blog publicly for 24 hours. Please tell other bloggers if you feel you should, or observe the day’s silence if you wish to join in this campaign.
