‘It could do harm:’ Immigration minister hesitant to discuss Calgary imam held in Turkey
CALGARY — Canada’s immigration minister says it’s best if he doesn’t say much about a Canadian imam who was jailed in Turkey shortly after last month’s failed coup.
“It might not be good for him or his family if we talk about details of this case in public,” Immigration and Refugees Minister John McCallum said Friday.
“But there are many such cases that arise and we are doing our best to provide support.”
Calgarian Davud Hanci was arrested for allegedly helping orchestrate the coup attempt
