Judge Abdel Fattah Mourad, who's filing a lawsuit demanding the closure of 21 blogs and website claiming they "defame Egypt's image, insult the president, and harm national interests," is now escalating his campaign, filing a new lawsuit against Leftist lawyers Ahmad Seif and Gamal Eid, the directors of the Hisham Mubarak Law Center and HR-Info respectively, as well as blogger Amr Gharbeia. The three are summoned to the North Cairo Prosecutor's office on Thursday, for interrogation on charges of "blackmail."
