THE retrial of two Al Jazeera English journalists in Egypt who face terror-related charges has been postponed to March 8.
THE decision on Monday comes after a brief hearing for acting bureau chief Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian producer Baher Mohamed.
They were freed earlier this month to await trial, though they've had to check in with police each day.The two, arrested in December 2013, face charges accusing them of being part of a terrorist group and airing falsified footage intended to damage Egyptian security.Another colleague arrested with them, Australian Peter Greste, was deported to Australia on February 1 under a new law allowing foreigners accused of crimes to be deported.Fahmy, a dual Egyptian-Canadian, dropped his Egyptian citizenship after he said Egyptian security officials told him it was the only way he would benefit from the new law.Egypt's Court of Cassation, the country's highest appeals court, ordered the retrial, saying the initial proceedings were marred by violations of the defendants' rights.Fahmy received a seven-year prison sentence, while Mohamed received a 10-year sentence.Eleven other defendants in the case - mostly students accused of being Muslim Brotherhood members - previously were ordered released without bail.Since being released on bail, Fahmy, 40, has criticised Al Jazeera, saying its "epic negligence has made our situation harder, more difficult, and gave our captor more firepower".Mohamed, 31, previously said he was "optimistic" about his retrial, though he "decided not to have any expectations".Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
