Egyptian president Abdelfattah al-sisi has pardoned two Aljazeera journalists were detained in Egypt for allegedly broadcasting fulse news. They were arrested in Egypt after the overthrew of former president Mohammed Mousi. They were accused of supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. Many people believe their detention was politically motivated. Several world leaders including Barrack Obama had publicly call on Egyptian authorities to set the journalists free unconditionally. The three journalists had initially spent one year in detention before two of the were brought back to court for fresh trial. The third journalist Peter from Australia was deported to his country but the other two, a Canadian and an Egyptian citizen (Mohammed Fahmy and Baher Mohammed) were sentenced to three years in jailed for broadcasting fulse news in favour of the then president Mohammed Mousi who is still in detention in Egypt.
