3 Al-jazeera Journalist Sentenced to 3years in Prison

An Egyptian judge has of today sentenced three Al-jazeerea's journalist to three years in prison for operating without a press license and broadcasting material harmful to Egypt.
 The Egyptian judge Hassan Farid said that the three journalist whose names are; Mohamed Fahmy, a naturalized Canadian who has given up his Egyptian citizen, Baher Mohamed, an Egyptian  and Peter Greste who is an Australian who was deported in February and sentenced in absentia was not registered with the country's journalist syndicate and that they brought into Egypt equipment without the approval of security officials as well as spreading 'false news' using a hotel as a broadcasting point without permission.

Reacting to the verdict, the acting director general of the Qatar based news network Mostefa Souag said
      "Today's verdict defies logic and common sense. Our collegues Baher Mohamed and Mohamed Fahmy will now have to return to prison, and Peter Greste is sentenced in absentia. Today's verdict is yet another deliberate attack on press freedom. It is a dark day for the Egyptian judiciary rather than defend liberties and a free and fair media they have compromise their independence for political reasons"
