Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mohamed Fahmy

Mohamed Fahmy: If he obliges, he would make Canada the only democratic nation to go along, according to The Star. In return, Egyptian ruler Field Marshall Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi may release Canadian citizen Mohamed Fahmy, the Al-Jazeera journalist detained in Cairo along with two colleagues since December on multiple charges, including terrorism and Egypts military government the one that seized power in a coup last July and has created a police state since has been lobbying potentially friendly governments to give it a pass on its wretched human rights record and help it crush its only real opposition, the Muslim Brotherhood, by designating it a terrorist group. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is among those the military junta is pinning its hopes on. In February, Saudi Arabia followed Egypt in slapping the Brotherhood with the terrorist label. The only other state to have ever done so was Russia, back in 2006, when Vladimir Putin did it as a favour to another military strongman, then-president Hosni Mubarak. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
