Freed Student uses Twitter to demand translator’s release.
(CNN)– James Karl Buck, An American student who used a microblog site to free himself from an Egyptian jail, is harnessing the Web’s power again — this time to demand the release of his translator.
Buck hasn’t always had unwavering faith in social networking. He used to shy away from Web sites like MySpace, Twitter or Facebook, but his detention overseas and networking online for Maree (the translator) have changed his mind for good.
“What this shows us is that we the people can harness an incredible power against oppressors by simply communicating with each other,” Buck said. “It shows the power in unity through technology.”
