Ghonim played a key role in organizing the protests that have convulsed Egypt for more than two weeks. He was the administrator of a Facebook page that is widely credited with calling the first protest on January 25.
Ghonim has been treated as a hero since his release. A crowd of thousands cheered him when he spoke recently at Tahrir Square, where hundreds of thousands of protesters have demanded change for the last 16 days.
He conceded that President Hosni Mubarak has "sacrificed a lot" for Egypt but said he represents a system that needs to be replaced. Also though, that Mubarak should be treated with dignity.
