                  Anonymity. Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant has been granted anonymity, and is to be referred to in these proceedings by the initials S E. No-one shall publish or reveal any information, including the name or address of the appellant, likely to lead members of the public to identify the appellant.
                  The appellant's case is that he was a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood the party of the former President of Egypt Mohamed Morsi. The appellant attended a demonstration on 12 June 2013 supporting President Morsi and counter-protesting against protests to have the President overthrown. The appellant was arrested and detained until 17 June 2013. He thereafter fled Egypt, and in his absence, on 5 October 2013, he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
"On the basis of the conclusion reached by Judge O'Garro regarding the credibility of the appellant's account, of course the documentation which he produced clearly could not be relied upon and she would be entitled to conclude that it was most likely fabricated. But if one appreciates the serious possibility that the account is true, then all of the documentation is consistent with the account and adds weight to it."
                  Permission to appeal was granted by the First-tier (Judge Curtis) who stated: "Judge O'Garro found a number of deficiencies in the documentation produced by the Appellant ... [the appellant] made a visa application on 16 June 2013 when elsewhere he had said he was detained at that time. The Judge arguably does not adequately reason why those deficiencies could be overlooked, or set aside, in favour of the Appellant."
                  The appellant submitted a Rule 24 response to the grant of permission which argued that the respondent's grounds were no more than a disagreement with the result. The judge had adequately set out his reasons for departing from Judge O'Garro's findings. The judge had accepted that it was possible that the appellant had been arrested as claimed.
