Canadians Held Without Charges in Egypt Allowed to Return Home

Two Canadians who were barred from leaving Egypt following weeks of imprisonment without charges were on their way home Friday.

Filmmaker John Greyson and physician Tarek Loubani said in a statement they that left Cairo on a flight Friday morning and are expected in Canada Friday night.

""It's over," the statement said, adding that they can't wait to see their families.

Egypt lifted a travel ban for the two on Thursday. The pair weren't allowed to board a plane after they were released from jail Sunday.
