Al-Jazeera English acting managing editor Giles Trendle vowed to free his colleagues in a televised news conference Saturday, after Egypt sentenced three of them to three-year prison sentences. Trendle called the ruling “a dark day for the Egyptian judiciary” and vowed to “continue and escalate our campaign” to free journalists Mohammed Fahmy, Baher Mohammed, and Peter Greste. “Journalism is not a crime,” he added.
