Al-Jazeera journalists sentenced to three years for ‘spreading false news’ in Egyptian retrial
‘Three Al Jazeera journalists have been convicted for “spreading false news” and jailed for three years following a retrial in Egypt.
Canadian national Mohammed Fahmy, Australian journalist Peter Greste and Egyptian producer Baher Mohamed were convicted on Saturday as friends and family watched in anguish in a court in Cairo.
Mr Fahmy and Mr Mohamed were in court to hear the verdict. Mr Greste, who was deported to Australia earlier this year following intense campaigning from family and international observers, tweeted his distress over the verdict.’
