CAIRO: The main defence lawyers of Australian journalist Peter Greste and another Al Jazeera reporter being tried in Cairo quit yesterday, accusing the satellite news station which employs them of working against Egypt. Greste and four other journalists of Al Jazeera have been charged with aiding the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood and defaming Egypt. In yesterday’s session, lead defence lawyer Farag Fathy said he and two colleagues also representing producer Baher Mohamed would no longer represent the reporters.
