Egypt President Sisi \\\'will not interfere\\\' in al-Jazeera case

Egypt's president has said he will not ‘interfere’ with the judiciary over the sentencing of al-Jazeera journalists in Cairo, which triggered global outrage. Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said ‘we must respect judicial rulings and not criticise them even if others do not understand this’. A court in Cairo found Australian Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed guilty of spreading false news. The trio had denied the charges and are expected to appeal. Earlier, Australian FM Julie Bishop told the Canberra would work with the Egyptian government to try to secure Mr Greste's release "as soon as possible’, according to BBC.
