Last month the country's chief prosecutor ordered his arrest on charges of insulting religion, undermining the president's standing, and disrupting public peace. After being questioned and released on L.E. 15,000 bail, the international community criticized the Egyptian Government for his arrest, questioning press freedom and personal rights in post-revolution Egypt.

American satirist and television host of the Daily Show, Jon Stewart, who Bassem Youssef had admitted to have been inspired by, wrote, "Bassem Youssef does my job in Egypt. The only real difference between him and me is that he performs his satire in a country still testing the limits of its hard-earned freedom, where those who speak out against the powerful still have much to fear."
