CJFE celebrates the news that Alexander Sodiqov, University of Toronto PhD student and Tajik blogger, has returned to Canada. He was arrested in Khorog on June 16 and imprisoned for 36 days on charges of espionage and treason.
At our annual CJFE Gala, we feature stories that we would never have known about if people had not risked their jobs, their freedom or even their lives to tell us. Join us on December 3.
CJFE has learned from the family of Mohamed Fahmy that the imprisoned Egyptian-Canadian journalist will appeal the illegitimate guilty verdict against him.
Facing seven years in prison, Fahmy wrote to CJFE discussing the challenges of filing an appeal in the corrupt system that sentenced him in the first place.
