In Egypt, two hunger-striking Canadians have been released after nearly two months in prison, but are now being prevented from leaving the country. Toronto filmmaker John Greyson and Dr. Tarek Loubani were freed unexpectedly on Sunday morning. Hours later, they were prevented from boarding a flight at the Cairo airport after appearing on a government “stop-list.” The two have been in touch with their families and say they are in a safe location as they clear up the red tape for a return home to Canada. Greyson and Loubani were arrested on August 16 after rushing to the scene of a mass shooting by state forces of supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi. They staged a three-week hunger strike while being kept in a crowded and cockroach-infested cell.
