Egypt has sentenced blogger Abdel Kareem Soliman to four years in prison, according to BBC News, three years for insulting Islam and inciting sedition, and one year for insulting President Hosni Mubarak. Apparently the court session lasted a mere five minutes.
Others say that it will not prevent Egyptians from blogging, since it is nearly impossible to control.
