Egypt drops journalist jail term
- Egypt: Wednesday, February 13 - 2008 at 08:48
An Al Jazeera journalist will not have to serve a six-month jail sentence in Egypt after an appeals court overturned a ruling that she tarnished the country's reputation for running a report on police torture, reported several news agencies. However, Howaida Taha will still have to pay a fine as the court upheld charges that she fabricated videotapes used in a documentary. Ahmed Helmi, Taha's lawyer, said he planned to appeal against the ruling. The fine is LE20,000 ($3,600).
