Detained Canadians may face murder charges

Two Canadians detained in Egypt since the August 16 protests following the removal of president Mohammed Morsi could face murder charges.

The Toronto Star has uncovered a list of charges Egyptian authorities are considering against the two including murder. Both deny all allegations, and lawyers say there is no credible evidence against them. A conviction on murder charges could result in a death sentence.

Toronto filmmaker John Greyson and Dr. Tarek Loubani have had their detention extended by another 45 days despite not having been charged with anything.
