    License revocation over Hilmi Salem poem

    The magazine’s license was revoked by Egypt’s State Council Administrative Court after publication of Hilmi Salem’s poem “On the Balcony of Leila Murad.” The court considered a comparison involving God and an Egyptian peasant blasphemous. The decision was reversed on appeal in June 2009.
