Al Jazeera Journalists Back in Limbo as Egypt Postpones Retrial

A court ruling on the fate of Mohamed Fahmy, the Canadian journalist recently released on bail from an Egyptian prison, has been again postponed leaving him “baffled” and in legal limbo for at least another two weeks.

Mr. Fahmy was arrested along with fellow Al Jazeera colleagues Peter Greste and Baher Mohamed back in December, 2013, and spent more than 400 days in jail in Egypt on charges of “spreading false news” to help the banned Muslim Brotherhood in a case widely considered a sham.
