Egypt Urged to Free Two Other Al-Jazeera Journalists

press release

Reporters Without Borders is relieved to learn that the Egyptian authorities yesterday freed Peter Greste, an Australian journalist working for Al-Jazeera, and urges them to release fellow Al-Jazeera employees Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and Baher Mohamed and all the other journalists they are holding.

Greste had been held since December 2013. His family requested his deportation under a presidential decree issued last November that provides for the possibility of expelling foreigners who have been convicted or who are on trial.
