Fresh push to free Egypt reporters

Media organisations are renewing a call for the release of three al-Jazeera journalists who have been held for 100 days since being arrested in Egypt. The trio, including former BBC reporter Peter Greste, went on trial in February, accused of spreading false news and aiding a terrorist group. They deny the charges, labelled by al-Jazeera as "absurd". The case has drawn widespread condemnation from international media and human rights groups. The three journalists are among 20 people facing similar charges. Only eight are currently in custody, while the remaining 12 are being tried in absentia.
