Hunger strike journalist released from Egyptian prison
An Al Jazeera journalist who spent more than 130 days on hunger strike in protest at his detention has been freed from an Egyptian prison.
Abdullah Al-Shamy, 26, was released today on medical grounds after spending nearly a year in detention without charge.
Three other journalists including the Australian national Peter Greste are still being held by Egyptian authorities in a case that has caused worldwide outcry.
They are accused of aiding the former president Mohamed Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood, which was banned as a terrorist group by the army regime which ousted the Mursi last July.
