Over 100 Canadians boarded a plane intending to join a global anti-Israel protest at Egypt’s border with Gaza but were detained at the border by authorities upon arrival.
Canadian protesters participating in the Global March for Gaza in Egypt began sending videos and alerts to their allies in Canada, announcing that they had had their passports taken and were being detained by Egyptian police.
The group put out a call to action, calling on Canadians to bombard the Canadian Embassy in Cairo to “intervene” after over 100 people with Canadian visas were detained by Egyptian police at the border near Ismailia.
