CAIRO—A Canadian journalist who has been imprisoned in Egypt for five and a half months on terrorism charges said he now has a permanent disability due to lack of proper medical care for an injury to his shoulder that was exacerbated by his arrest and detention.
Mohamed Fahmy, an Egyptian-Canadian citizen and the acting bureau chief for Al Jazeera English, was taken for an MRI scan on Wednesday at a private hospital close to the prison complex where he has been detained since December.
