CAIRO: An Egyptian court sentenced three Al Jazeera TV journalists to three years in prison on Saturday
for operating without a press license and broadcasting material harmful to Egypt, a case that has triggered an international outcry.
The verdict in a retrial was issued against Mohamed Fahmy, a naturalised Canadian who has given up his Egyptian citizenship, Baher Mohamed, an Egyptian, and Australian Peter Greste, who was deported in February.
