Egypt Deports Australian Journalist

Media are reporting that Egypt has extradited journalist Peter Greste, who reports for al-Jazeera, to his native country of Australia. Mr. Greste had been convicted of “false reporting” along with two other al-Jazeera journalists, and had been held for more than a year. Recently, an Egyptian appellate court had overturned the convictions and ordered a retrial. The other reporters are apparently still in prison. The campaign to free them has been gaining worldwide attention for months, led by their families and reporters in many countries.  More here from CNN, here from Reuters.
