 journalistsJournalists Sentenced in Egyptposted by Anna-Maria Müller at 15h33 GMT on Sep 25
A court in Egypt has sentenced three journalists and four editors to prison and forced labor. Al Jazeera reports three journalists were sentenced to two years in jail while Reporters Without Borders speaks of four editors, who have to pay the highest possible fines and have to spend one year in forced labor. The journalists were punished for spreading "untrue information which damaged the reputation of the justice system and the justice ministry".
