Egypt court jails Al Jazeera journalists after retrial

Al Jazeera has described the verdict of an Egyptian court a deliberate attack on press freedom after it sentenced three of its journalists to three years in prison. Egyptian Baher Mohamed and Canadian Mohamed Fahmy are heading back to jail after a retrial found them guilty of broadcasting false news. Australian Peter Greste - who was sentenced in absentia - said Saturday's verdict was clearly political. Baher Mohamed and Fahmy were sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty by the Cairo court of "aiding a terrorist organisation". The journalists and Al Jazeera vigorously denied the accusations during the course of the trial.   Al Jazeera
