Arabic Network for Human Rights Information welcomes the release of the God Father of the Egyptian Bloggers, Alaa Saif, after 45- day detention in prison with no legal charge.

Alaa Saif, the manager of http://www.manalaa.net/ blog, was arrested on 7th May 2006 while he was expressing his solidarity with reformist judges calling for independence of judiciary as well as eliminating elections forgery in Egypt.

Alaa Saif and his colleagues refused to be questioned by State Security Prosecution, due to its absolute bias to Egyptian Political Police named State Security. They persistently demanded to be investigated before a magistrate, up till now, the prosecution still turning a deaf ear to their demand.
