Looks like you folks are going to inherit an Egyptian immigrant.

We paid the ransom so we should. Why do these stupid countries fuck with journalists like this I will never know. They have large platforms and have big mouths.

It's still good advice.

It's not so bad. They were arrested filming riots in Egypt when the police were shooting protesters. The cameraman was convicted of weapons offenses because he picked up a shell casing at the scene. A severe lack of evidence, yet they were still tried and convicted.

Just goes to show the police and courts around the globe can be bigger dicks than ours can be.

Just another case of where someone thought their dual citizenship would give them access to things they weren't supposed to see and when they get in deep trouble in their "home" country it's always "Canada" get me out, I'm a citizen.

Since he had to renounce his Egyptian citizenship it'd be my guess that he won't be accorded the same privileges and protection in the middle east as a Canadian that he was as an Egyptian.

So, his usefulness to Al Jazeera has probably dropped considerably since there are a myriad of countries he won't be granted access to or information from and unless their network starts covering women's field hockey his usefulness to them is pretty much done.
