Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he raised the cases of Canadian citizens detained in Egypt with that country's president at a summit of African leaders.

Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is concluding a term as chair of the African Union and is a former general who took power in Egypt in a coup in 2013.

A year ago, Egyptian authorities arrested Canadian engineer Yasser Albaz at the Cairo airport as he was leaving at the end of a business trip and have held him since, without any public charges. Amnesty International has cited Egypt under el-Sisi for arbitrary detentions, torture, and extrajudicial killings.

Trudeau is in Africa seeking support for Canada to get a seat on the United Nations Security Council. In a news conference at the end of the African Union summit, he said promoting human rights comes up in everything he does there.

I doubt he did. Even if he did, no one will listen to this clown

He would need to grow a pair to do that and the fact that he said it proves otherwise.

Pressed... Hahaha

He pressed their palms is more likely.

I'm glad to hear this; though it's more about Trump now, isn't it. Egypt is a bit busy with the KushnerMess

Did he get our 10 million back
