Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA prominent Al-Jazeera journalist who was held in German police custody was released.
Television journalist Ahmed Mansour was arrested Saturday at a Berlin airport having been accused by Cairo of committing “several crimes.”
He was still held on Sunday pending a court decision on his further detention on an arrest warrant issued by his native Egypt. The case prompted angry questions about press freedom and German relations with Egypt under President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, but the journalist was set free this afternoon.
