Mohamed Fahmy details ‘grim’ imprisonment in new memoir

CBC’s Early Edition featured an interview with Mohamed Fahmy, a journalism professor at UBC whose new book details his time spent wrongfully imprisoned in Egypt.

“I survived that because luckily enough I had a good family behind me. The journalism community did an impeccable job in keeping my story alive … Many tens of thousands of Canadians signed petitions so I realized it was not just about me. It was a bigger cause,” he said.
