Hossam, the executive director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, where I am currently employed, has followed up on my work related to amendment of Egypt's Telecom Act following the January 2011 kill-switch, in addition to another bill for Freedom of Information written by a working group I coordinated and advocated in parliament by myself. Hossam has also followed up on our litigation work in the current YouTube blocking case, and previous cases of internet censorship.
