World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

What's it like being a journalist in Egypt? Three Al-Jazeera staff who reported on events in Egypt have been sentenced to seven years in prison. Peter Greste, Mohammed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed were convicted of spreading false news and supporting the now banned Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood. We hear from journalists operating in Egypt today about the restrictions they face when doing their jobs. (Photo credit: Khaled Desouki/AFP)
