TORONTO — A Canadian journalist who was released from prison in Egypt last month has returned home.
Mohamed Fahmy, a former Al-Jazeera journalist detained on terror-related charges, told The Associated Press that he arrived in Toronto on Sunday.
He says he’d long imagined in prison the moment he would return.
His arrival ends his nearly two-year ordeal in a case that raised questions about Egypt’s commitment to free speech.
