Montreal - Prominent human rights lawyer Amal Clooney lashed out at the Canadian government on Thursday, accusing Ottawa of "woefully inadequate" efforts to secure the repatriation of Al-Jazeera journalist Mohamed Fahmy from Egypt.
In a scathing rebuke of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government, Clooney said diplomats had made only "sheepish whimpers" to Cairo instead of the required concerted efforts to secure her client's return.
Canadian reporter Fahmy faces a fresh trial in Egypt over accusations that he supported the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood movement in his news coverage with colleagues, a charge he has rejected as absurd.
