Egyptian pro-democracy blogger Ahmad el Droubi who has been detained and released lately by Egyptian authorities for participating in the demonstrations supporting Egyptian judges during last month was fired from his job and was told after 2 days of his release on 29th of May that his activities were not looked upon highly by the the Cairo office of the company he works for  WorlyParsons Komex.

El Droubi said that he was dismissed by his Egyptian boss.

He sent a message of complaint to the company senior management in London.

Here some exerpts of the message:

(I have been an employee of WorlyParsons Komex since January of this year. I have served as a field ecologist with the Cairo office. On April 24, I was detained by the Egyptian State Security police, and held for 33 days without appearing before a judge, and obviously without being convicted of any crime. I was arrested during a peaceful solidarity sit- in with Egyptian Judges outside the Judge’s Club in downtown Cairo ... This sit-in was organized by an Egyptian civil rights movement, known as Kefaya (Arabic for Enough). Kefaya is a movement that campaigns for democracy in Egypt, focusing on issues ranging from corruption, freedom of expression, torture, and free elections.

During the period of my detention I received two statements from the WorlyParsons Komex Cairo office: the first of these was delivered through my lawyer stating that if I was released before the end of May my job would be waiting for me.
The second statement came to me as a surprise; this statement was made by Mr. Mohamed Abdel Gawad, manager of the Cairo office on two separate occasions: to my lawyer and to my parents. They were told that the company requested my resignation–rather than dismissing me, as that would be more favorable on my record (and as it turns out according to my lawyer, it was to remove all liability from the company). …a resignation (was) awaiting my signature.
Two days after my release I returned to the office on May 29. I was told that my political activities were not looked upon highly by the office, and that the fact that I had not attended a month of work–despite the fact that official government documents explaining my detention were delivered to the office on two separate occasions by my lawyer.
Two days later I received an envelope containing four warnings concerning my absence in addition to a document containing a preliminary termination of employment.

I have been considering and have been advised to pursue legal action against the company.)

A campaign to express solidarity with elDroubi has been initiated by sending a message to the company protesting the dismisal of el-Droubi.

So far the company hasn't respond to Ahmad's complaint.
