Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Fahmy accuses Canada of 'epic negligence' in trying for his release

Al-Jazeera's Canadian-Egyptian television bureau chief, Mohamed Fahmy who was freed on bail by an Egyptian court on Thursday has accused the Canadian government of "epic negligence" that left him trapped in Egypt saying that the Prime Minister Stephen Harper failed to act in trying for his release.

According to the Independent, he said that the 400 days that he and his colleagues had to spend in jail endured "a geo-political score-settling" where they were the "pawns."

He also accused the Canadian government of failing to take him to Cairo airport and put him in a flight to Toronto after he renounced his Egyptian citizenship.

Fahmy is now determined to visit Egyptian president Abdul Fattah al-Sissi's office to seek freedom abroad.

The three Al Jazeera journalists including Fahmy were found guilty of allegedly helping terrorists and spreading "false news" in reports after the former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi was ousted.
