Egypt to Retry 2 Jailed Al Jazeera Journalists

HeadlineFeb 10, 2015

An Egyptian court will retry two imprisoned Al Jazeera journalists this week despite hopes at least one would be released. Last week, Canada had announced the release of Mohamed Fahmy was imminent after he renounced his Egyptian citizenship. Fahmy is a Canadian citizen. But both Fahmy and his colleague Baher Mohamed face a retrial on Thursday. Fahmy’s family has launched a social media campaign calling on Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to intervene.
