Caged Journalists Appear in Cairo Court for Trial


Australian journalist Peter Greste (third from right) of Al-Jazeera and his colleagues stand inside the defendants' cage during their trial for allegedly supporting the Muslim Brotherhood at Cairo's Tora prison on Wednesday. The high-profile case has sparked a global outcry over muzzling of the press and is seen as a test of the military-installed government's tolerance of independent media. Activists fear a return to autocracy three years after the Arab Spring uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak. Story by Bloomberg
