[cma-l] Outrage as Egypt jails

[Bill Best]

Thanks Robert.

The CMA is a member of AMARC <http://www2.amarc.org/>, the World
Association of Community Radio Broadcasters and we have affiliations with
the National Union of Journalists <http://www.nuj.org.uk/home/>, IFEX
<https://www.ifex.org/>, and other NGOs supporting communication rights and
press freedom.

We therefore support the campaign against the seven-year jail sentences
given to three Al Jazeera staff accused by an Egyptian court of aiding the
Muslim Brotherhood and reporting false news.

Yesterday evening we tweeted
<https://twitter.com/amnesty/status/481126692640276480> our support for the
Amnesty International and Channel 4 News campaign
<http://www.channel4.com/news/al-jazeera-channel-4-news-journalists-protest-video>:
#FreeAJStaff <https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeAJStaff&src=typd>

We will remain vigilant for opportunities to further support the campaign
for the imprisoned journalists.

Best regards

Bill
