An Egyptian court has sentenced three Al-Jazeera journalists to three years in prison after a retrial.
Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed were led away from court after the verdict. A third journalist Australian Peter Greste was deported in February.
Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney has said the sentencing of three al-Jazeera journalists to three years in jail after a retrial sends a "very dangerous message".
An Egyptian court today ruled that they had operated without a press license and had broadcast harmful material.
Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed were led way after the verdict but Australian Peter Greste was sentenced in absentia after he was deported in February.
Mrs Clooney, who represents Mr Fahmy said: "Everyone has said there is no evidence to sustain any of the charges and Egypt's own Supreme Court when they looked at this case said there wasn't sufficient evidence.
"The verdict today sends a very dangerous message in Egypt. It sends a message that journalists can be locked up for simply doing their job, for telling the truth and reporting the news", she added.
