2 Al Jazeera Journalists Freed on Bail in Egypt 
------------------------------------------------


 
Two Al Jazeera journalists have been freed on bail in Egypt after more
than 400 days behind bars. Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed were released
today at the start of a new trial. The pair and a third colleague, Peter
Greste, were arrested as part of a crackdown on Al Jazeera after the
ouster of Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi in 2013. Despite
their release, the case has not been dismissed. A new hearing will be
held later this month.
