CAIRO, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- As of Monday, three Al Jazeera journalists have been detained for a year by Egyptian authorities, charged with tailoring their news reports to support the Muslim Brotherhood.
Australian correspondent Peter Greste, Egyptian-Canadian bureau chief Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian producer Baher Mohamed were detained on Dec. 29, 2013, accused of using Al Jazeera English as a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood -- considered a terrorist group by the government -- and their broadcast location at the Marriott hotel as a meeting venue for Muslim Brotherhood members.
