Detained in Korea .. Electronic calls to save a political activist before being deported to Egypt

Abdullah Hamed - Cairo

Egyptian activists have launched an online campaign on social networking sites in recent attempts to rescue Egyptian political activist Ahmed Salah, who the South Korean authorities intend to extradite to Cairo, following Seoul's decision two days ago.

Through many of the activists called on the Korean government to back down from its decision, and called for the formation of a global campaign to save the Egyptian opposition.

Salah traveled to South Korea in February 2016. There is a request for political asylum, but the government turned down his request and then arrested him in violation of the Geneva Convention on Asylum.

A Korean Christian organization known for fanaticism against the refugees found a picture of Saleh from its context, ridiculing Egyptians who harassed girls abroad and presented it to the government as evidence that he was inciting harassment and not a political refugee.

Salah completes his eighth month in prison in South Korea, although lawyers have provided an analysis of the original sound without montage, and made it clear that he is actually a cynical video, but the Immigration Department refused to take the video on the grounds that it was not downloaded from the Internet.

Salah is not the first and probably not the last, in the crisis of Egyptian asylum seekers to South Korea, where authorities were suspended by the sister of political activist Mena Daniel, who was invited by a military armored vehicle in the central region of Maspero after the revolution.

Since last September, South Korea has been applying for an entry visa after increasing the number of Egyptian youths who have applied for asylum.
