[cali]

In case you don't know about this outrage, Dr. Loubani and Mr. Greyson have been detained in Egypt without charges for over a month. They were traveling together to Gaza where Dr. Loubani was scheduled to train emergency room physicians. Mr. Greyson was working on a film.

They stopped by a police station in Cairo to ask for directions after curfew and were arrested.
