		Alaa’s arrest has hit particularly hard for so many of us concerned with reform in Egypt because of his youth and because he was such an active blogger.

		oh the numbers where not big, the pro mubarak one was not more than 300 (unless you decide to add the uniformed security soldiers and the nonuniformed torture thugs who come to challange anti torture activists among them, then it is tens of thousands).
