Al Jazeera journalists Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed freed | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Al Jazeera journalists Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohammed have left prison in Egypt following their release on bail. | |
They spent more than a year behind bars. On Thursday a court ordered their release pending a retrial this month. | |
They are accused of spreading false information and helping the banned Muslim Brotherhood. | |
Their release comes two weeks after that of Australian Peter Greste, the third journalist in the case that has attracted international criticism. | |
Mr Greste was deported to Australia following his release. Mr Fahmy holds a Canadian passport and renounced his Egyptian citizenship. | |
The retrial of the two journalists now released is due to resume on 23 February. |
