York University: Foreign Affairs Lynne Yelich

Foreign Affairs Lynne Yelich: John Greyson, originally from Nelson, B.C., is an award-winning filmmaker and a York University professor lauded as an icon of Canadas queer community, according to The Star. In a written statement, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Lynne Yelich called for an explanation for their arrest. We strongly believe that this is a case of two people being in the wrong place at the wrong time, she said and Tarek Loubani fled the ravages of the Gulf War, a young refugee who landed in Canada and went on to become an emergency doctor in London, Ont. On Monday, both Canadians remained in an Egyptian prison days after they were arrested for reasons that remain unclear amidst ongoing strife in the politically fractious country.
