Canadians detained in Egypt should be released 'immediately': PMO
CTV News
Recently, on August 16th two Canadian men were arrested in Egypt and detained in a notorious prison. The Toronto filmmaker, John Greyson and London doctor Tarrek Loubani were detained on August 16th. While passing through, riots were in the process of happening and when Dr. Loubani and Mr. Greyson came to a checkpoint they were arrested and beaten. The Prime Minister's Office said "In the absence of charges, Dr. Loubani and Mr. Greyson should be released immediately." The two men could be held up to two years without having charges laid against them.
I strongly disagree with the Egyptian government holding these two men. These men were going there to help teach and give assistance with emergency medicine. I agree that these men should be released, especially with no charges being laid against them as of now. Also I think that the Canadian government should be putting more pressure on Egypt to release these men.
