Arwad al-Boushi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arwad al-Boushi (born 1958/59) is a Syrian-born Canadian oil-industry worker.
An article published in the Globe and Mail reports that al-Boushi returned to Canada on December 23, 2005 after three and half years in a Syrian prison.
Al-Boushi was a member The Muslim Brotherhood before he left Syria in the 1970s. He had not been back since. When his father grew ill, he queried Syrian authorities as to whether his membership in an opposition group would preclude him visiting. He says he was assured it would not be a problem.
He says he does not know Maher Arar, Abdullah Amalki, Ahmad El Maati or Muayyed Nureddin, four other Canadians of Muslim descent, that the Syrians had imprisoned
