Sacked activist finally gets his pay cheque [Egypt]

Ahmad el-Droubi...opened the letter, it was nothing but a sweet cheque from his former employer [WorleyParsons Komex] that had his unpaid salary and consultancy fees. The cheque Droubi received this morning signifies two things: First, it is an implicit acknowledgement from his company that he was unjustly dismissed. Second, it shows campaigning does work!...The fight is NOT over though, as there are still unsettled issues here. One: The dismissal is still unjust, and our friend is still unemployed. Two: We still need a financial compensation for this unjust dismissal.
