Egypt Detains Canadians on Way to Gaza 
---------------------------------------


 
Egypt's military government is facing international pressure to release
two Canadians detained a week ago. John Greyson, a Toronto filmmaker,
and Tarek Loubani, a doctor, were passing through Cairo on their way to
the Gaza Strip. Greyson was to film Loubani as he trained emergency room
doctors in Gaza. An Egyptian court has ordered their detention for
another two weeks.
