Canadian progressives jailed by Sisi regime

From Benjamin:  "Our friends John Greyson and Tarek Loubani are jailed by the coup regime in Egypt. They were trying to travel to Gaza so that Tarek could train doctors in emergency medicine at Al Shifa hospital. John was going to make a documentary of Tarek's work.


The Toronto Star reported today that after 45 days without charges, the prosecutor is going to charge them. In response, their friends and relatives have released this letter written from Tora prison which describes some details of their arrest and also the violence they witnessed on August 16 in Ramses Square."
