In April 2009, an Egyptian court cancelled the publishing license of a monthly magazine Ibdaa because, in 2007, it had published a "blasphemous" poem: "On the balcony of Leila Murad" by Hilmi (or Helmi or Helmy) Salem. The court said the poem included "expressions that insulted God."[36] Before Ibdaa was shut down, a court forced Salem to return a State Award for Achievement in the Arts.
