A Muslim man has been interrogated by the FBI in Egypt and prevented from going home to Northern Virginia, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The group held a news conference Wednesday to call for the return of 26-year-old Yahya Wehelie to the United States.
CAIR said Wehelie and his younger brother, both of Somali heritage, were stopped by FBI agents as they traveled home from Yemen. Agents told Wehelie that his name was on the “no-fly list.” The younger brother was allowed to return to the U.S., but CAIR said Wehelie was blindfolded and chained to a wall in an Egyptian policy facility for several days.
