Nine al-Jazeera staff referred to trial in Egypt

Qatari-owned broadcaster Al-Jazeera declared Thursday that 9 of its employees are being prosecuted in Egypt among a group of twenty journalists accused by Egypt’s military-installed authorities of being part of a “terror cell”.

The Egyptian public prosecution said on January 31 that it had referred to trial 20 journalists allegedly working for Al-Jazeera after accusing them of portraying Egypt as being in a state of “civil war” and “airing false news.”

In this context, al-Jazeera issued a statement whereby it said that “nine network staff are on the list of 20, meaning most of those named are not employees of Al-Jazeera.”
