(Middle East Monitor) The Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK has revealed details about the deportation of an Egyptian Islamic preacher who is opposed to the Egyptian regime by the Spanish authorities.
Spain handed over Alaa Mohamed Said, 45, who is imam of the Firdous Masjid in Logrono and the head of the Islamic Union of Imams and Preachers in Spain, to Egypt on 3 June after he was held for a month and a half in a deportation prison in Madrid. The imam was accused by the Spanish authorities of being affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood and embracing Wahhabi thoughts.
According to the information obtained by the organisation, the director of the detention centre summoned Alaa Said on 2 June and informed him that the Spanish authorities had granted him a pass to travel outside Spain to any other country he would like, denying that he would be deported to Egypt and confirming that he would be transferred to another detention centre.
