Egypt blogger Maikel Nabil jailed by military court
A military court in Egypt has sentenced an internet activist to three years in jail for criticising the armed forces.
Maikel Nabil was arrested last month for blogs that criticised the army's role during anti-government protests.
The 26-year-old is thought to be the first blogger jailed in Egypt since the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak.
Activists said the trial set a dangerous precedent at a time when Egypt was trying to move away from the alleged abuses of the Mubarak era.
