Egypt pardons Al Jazeera journalists Fahmy and Mohamed

Two Al Jazeera journalists jailed in Egypt for 'broadcasting false news' have been freed after receiving pardons from President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi.

Baher Mohamed, an Egyptian, and Mohammed Fahmy, a Canadian, were among 100 prisoners whose release was ordered.

Prosecutors accused them of collaborating with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood after the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi by the military in 2013.

The journalists denied the allegation and said they were simply reporting the news.
