Wael Abbas is one of the Egyptian bloggers behind the campaign.

We wanted to draw the attention of the media and the public to Mohammed Adel's case and to make a mockery of the accusations put forward by the secret services. Some of our photos have been erased by Facebook because they were thought to go against the site's chart, as explained in the warning I received. Two photos of a friend carrying a fake gun were thus erased because they allegedly incited violence. This is absurd - it's simply a toy! Facebook apparently received a host of comments from Web users who wanted the pictures censored. In my view, Egyptian security services must've been behind the alerts. They'd already used this method in the past to get rid of videos I posted on YouTube."

With one finger pointing to the sky in the manner of an Islamist militant, Wael Abbas ironically dons the title of "Mullah".

The Egyptian blogger Mina Zekry is a co-founder of the "Bloggers for terrorism" group.

The pictures of Mohammed carrying a gun were meant to be souvenirs, a way for him to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The security services used the photos as a pretext to accuse him of all sorts of crimes.

Beyond Adel's case, this campaign is also intended to denounce an autocratic regime that attempts to repress opponents, activists and journalists under the guise of a state of emergency, martial law and the threat of terrorism. As the recent attack in Khan al-Khalili pointed out, they have far more pressing issues to deal with. Our campaign is also a critique of the authorities' vague definition of terrorism, blurring resistance, personal convictions and terrorism."

The "misr digital" website, spearhead of the satirical movement, describes its collaborator Mina Zekry in the following terms: "a Copt blogger, known to security services as a member of the Muslim Brothers and an agent of the German secret services".

On the group's Facebook page four bloggers are clad in black in the manner of the Black Panthers. The weapons are plastic.

The blogger Satigraha - nicknamed after the principle of non-violence famously advocated by the Mahatma Gandhi - is in charge of the "military wing of Photoshop".

Robin Hood's official lookalike, Shahinaz Abdel Salam has also joined the movement.
