Family asks Australian gov't to help man leave Egypt

None

The family of an Australian man who was detained for a year and is now unable to leave Egypt has called on the Australian government to help get him out of the country.

 

Brisbane resident Hazem Hamouda was arrested in Cairo in January 2018 after arriving there with his family for a holiday.

 

Egyptian police accused him of having links to Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood, which is banned in Egypt, and of spreading falsities online — allegations his family denies.
