Egypt jails three al-Jazeera journalists
Three al-Jazeera journalists accused of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood have been jailed for seven years in Egypt. A court in Cairo convicted Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed of spreading false news and supporting the now-banned Islamist group. The trio had denied the charges. Al Anstey, the managing director of al-Jazeera English, is appalled.
