Salah El-Din explained that Fortunato is working on this case on a volunteer basis and is coordinating with Ibrahim Abou El-Rous, head of the Egyptian community in Spain. Abou El-Rous has also received a permit from Spanish authorities that allows Egyptians to organise a demonstration on Sunday. The Spanish High National Court is expected to make a decision on the Salem case on 26 September.
