Free John Greyson, Renowned Canadian Filmaker from Egypt

Greyson was arrested with his traveling companion Dr. Loubani on their way to Gaza where Dr. Loubani was scheduled to train Emergency Room physicians. Greyson was researching doing a film about Dr. Loubani's work.

They have been held without charges for over a month. It is inconceivable that either man is invoved with any action against the Egyptian Government.

More information at the link below, including a link to the petition at Change.org and a link to Greyson's acclaimed gay film "Lilies".
