A Montreal-area family is begging the Algerian government to release their loved one, Raouf Farrah, who has been detained there for 100 days.
Farrah has been denied bail twice and is only allowed to see his family for 20 short minutes every 15 days.
“Raouf is sorely missed and his absence affects us greatly,” the family said in a statement.
