‘Want him to be safe:’ Wife says Turkish-Canadian imam Davud Hanci in solitary
CALGARY — The wife of a Calgary imam says he is being held in solitary confinement in Turkey and worrying about his well-being has been torturous.
Davud Hanci, who has Canadian and Turkish citizenship, was arrested in July shortly after a failed coup attempt.
Rumeysa Hanci says she has not been able to speak to her husband since he was allowed a phone call shortly after he was detained.
“I just want him to be safe there and to come home as soon as possible,” she said from Toronto, where she is staying with family.
