半島電視臺三名記者將向埃及法院上訴

Three Al-Jazeera journalists are marking one year since they were arrested in Egypt on charges of supporting the banned muslim Brotherhood, as they look toward a court date Thursday to appeal their case.

一年前，三名半島電視臺記者在埃及被逮捕。他們被控支持被取締的穆斯林兄弟會。星期四，這三名記者將向法院提出上訴。

Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian-Canadian Mohamed Fahmy are in prison on seven-year sentences, while their Egyptian colleague Baher Mohamed is serving a 10-year sentence.

澳大利亞公民格雷斯特和埃及裔加拿大公民法赫米被判7年監禁；他們的埃及同事默哈邁德被判10年監禁。

Greste's brother Michael told reporters Monday that the family has to be hopeful the court appeal will lead to the journalists' release.

格雷斯特的兄弟邁克星期一對記者說，他的家人希望這次上訴能使格雷斯特獲釋。

Egyptian President Mohamed Fattah el-Sissi said after the journalists were convicted in July that the decision must be respected and he would not interfere.

今年7月，埃及總統塞西在這三名記者被定罪後表示，必須尊重這一判決；他不準備進行干預。

Al-Jazeera has insisted its workers were simply doing their jobs reporting the news, and the news agency called the verdict against them "shocking."

半島電視臺堅持說，這三名記者只是在做報道新聞的本職工作，並表示對他們的判決感到“震驚”。
