Madrid .- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a diplomat to Tripoli to negotiate the release of the Spanish photographer Manuel Varela de Seijas, known as Manuel Brabo, who was detained for eight days in Libya, according to diplomatic sources have confirmed. Brabo was arrested earlier last week by the Libyan leader's forces in eastern Libya with American reporters James Foley and Clare Morgan Gillis and fellow South African photographer Anton the Harmmel.
The sources explained that when Spain was informed of the disappearance of Brabo informed the Hungarian EU Presidency to take the appropriate steps to secure his release. Hungary is one of the few countries that, unlike Spain and other nations, keep open its embassy in Tripoli. Yesterday, Monday, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trinidad Jimenez, said they were Turkish and Hungarian diplomats who were leading the efforts to free Brabo but on Tuesday, however, has announced the delivery of the Spanish diplomat.
