(CBC) CBC News has learned that a Canadian couple who were detained in Turkey for months has been released without charges and are heading back to Canada.
A senior government source told CBC News the couple’s problems began when they took a drive along the Syrian border in July. That prompted the Turkish authorities to pick them up on suspicion of terror-related activity.
On Tuesday, Haleema Mustafa and Ikar Mao were released and free to return to Canada. They will not face any charges.
Sources told CBC News the Turkish government had been preparing terror-related charges against them because they were suspected of trying to join ISIS.
