Free Bashir Campaign Begins

Written by DigiActive Team on December 16, 2009 – 11:53 pm -

Moroccan blogger Bashir Hazzam was arrested on December 7th after taking part in a student protest and posting about it on his blog.  The Free Bashir site is up now at www.freebashir.org.  These types of  sites are getting more and more sophisticated.   This one has clear  background information on the case, banners for you blog, a widget, and presences on Twitter, Facebook, on Flickr.   It would be helpful if the site proposed one clear action that people could take to help Bashir.   It’s all about having a credible theory of change: how will the actions people take online affect the offline outcome of the case?

    Thanks – we’re working on getting in touch with lawyers to help propose a clear action. Sometimes, I think it’s all about getting the site up quickly.
