Help free filmmaker John Greyson and physician Tarek Loubani

[Nada Jung]

Help free filmmaker John Greyson and physician Tarek Loubani, Canadians who were arrested in Cairo this week. Please sign and share the petition below.

"We recognize that Egypt is going through a painful transition," said Mohammed Loubani, Tarek’s brother "but arresting a Physician and filmmaker and detaining them without due process is clearly a step in the wrong direction." He added, "the Egyptian transitional Government has frequently repeated its commitment to democratic values and the rule of law. The continued detention of John and Tarek clearly falls short of that commitment."
