A Federal Court ruling that ordered the government to repatriate four Canadian men being held in Syrian camps has been put on temporary hold until an appeal process plays out.

The Federal Court of Appeal has agreed to grant a stay, at the government’s request, until the appeal is heard less than two weeks from now.
