There have been so many, and the transliteration of their names different enough in various sources, that we’re always wary about covering the same arrest twice, though I don’t think this is the case, though the photo on his blog seems awfully familir

RSF reported that Reda Abderrahman Ali was also arrested. 

Around 20 police officers turned up at 2am on 27 October 2008 at the home of 32-year-old Reda Abderrahman Ali, in the village of Abu Hariz, in the north-east of the country.

The blogger’s sister told Reporters Without Borders that the security forces searched his room and seized his computer. In the days following his arrest, the family sent letters to the interior ministry as well as to President Hosni Mubarak, but these letters have so far gone unanswered. One month after his arrest, his family do not know what he is to be charged with or where he is being held.

Abderrahman Ali has been blogging for nearly two years. During this time he has had countless problems with his employer in connection with his writing. His sister said he had been threatened with legal proceedings by al-Azhar for his articles on the Koranists movement of which he is a member and who believe that the practice of Islam should not be based on any text other than the Koran.
