91ÑÇÉ« is extremely concerned about the safety and well-being of John Greyson, an associate professor at 91ÑÇÉ« and director of 91ÑÇɫ’s graduate program in film, and Tarek Loubani, an emergency room doctor from London, Ont., who have been detained in Cairo, Egypt.
John Greyson

We are in contact with Canadian government officials about the detainment of the two men and to offer our support for their safe return. Our thoughts are also with their families and friends at this time.
