The next one is supposedly on October 15.He has been in jail for over 14 months and he has been on a hunger strike for the past 250+ days. Please help Mohamed byemailing the State Department and Egyptian Embassycalling on them to intercede on Mohamed's behalf.For faster and more effective action, please call:
"I am a US citizen very concerned about another US citizen, Mohamed Soltan, on hunger strike in prison in Egypt and dangerously close to death.

Every action counts, and each day he inches closer to death. As Mohamed said, "If we have to die so the next generation can live free, so be it." Don't let it get to that point. Please act now. With hope for Mohamed, |
