(Egypt) - Family members of an alleged spy jailed in Cairo are pressing Canada to "do something" for the 31-year-old Egyptian Canadian, who feared for his safety in Egypt years before his arrest. He was arrested Jan. 1, after he flew to Cairo of his own volition. It is not clear why he travelled to Egypt. Ottawa has not commented on the case. Newspapers in Egypt have speculated that Mr. el-Attar fled Egypt for Turkey six years ago because he is gay and fears discrimination.
