Egypt 'sets appeal date' for Jazeera journos
A court in Egypt has set the appeals hearing of three jailed al-Jazeera journalists for 1 January, says the family of one of them. The three journalists of the Qatar-based broadcaster were jailed for seven years on 23 June. They were accused of spreading false news and supporting the Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood. The court will either uphold the verdict or call for a retrial.
