HeadlineApr 01, 2014

Three Al Jazeera journalists appeared in an Egyptian court on Monday where they were allowed to testify for the first time since being detained late last year. Peter Greste, Baher Mohamed and Mohamed Fahmy are accused of belonging to or aiding the Muslim Brotherhood, deemed by the government a terrorist organization. In brief testimony, the three denied having ties to the Brotherhood and cited their longtime work as journalists. The trial has been adjourned until next week.
