Al Jazeera is still demanding the release of its staff being held in Egypt. Mohamed Fahmy, Baher Mohammed and Peter Greste have now spent 60 days in prison. They are accused of having links with a terrorist organisation and spreading false news. Al Jazeera rejects the charges. Another Al Jazeera journalist, Abdullah al-Shami from the network's Arabic channel, has been held since August. He has been on hunger strike for more than a month to protest against his imprisonment. One of Al Jazeera's cameramen in Egypt, Mohamed Badr, was released earlier this month after months of imprisonment in Cairo.
