Al Jazeera Propagandists Sentenced In Egypt

Sunday, August 30, 2015

CIA propagandists and journalistic frauds fortunate to receive light sentences for inciting Muslim Brotherhood rioting during which hundreds died; Greste and Turton have been convicted and will never again work for a "news" agency of any kind - these are the actions of MSM frauds and hacks that get legitimate journalists killed and persecuted for their reporting

An Egyptian court has sentenced Canadian Mohamed Fahmy and two other Al-Jazeera English journalists to three years in prison, the latest twist in a long-running trial criticized worldwide by press freedom and human rights activists.

Al Jazeera has long been a front for the CIA, and was

instrumental in inciting the Muslim Brotherhood to

riot in Egypt

Fahmy faced widely denounced terror charges and had spent more than a year in prison before a successful appeal of an earlier conviction resulted in the re-trial that culminated in Saturday's verdict. In his ruling, Judge Hassan Farid said he sentenced the men to prison because they had not registered with the country's journalist syndicate. He also said the men brought in equipment without the approval of security officials, had broadcast "false news" on Al-Jazeera and used a hotel as a broadcasting point without permission.

It wasn't immediately clear how the sentence would affect the three men, but they are seeking a pardon from President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who has personally spoken out against the case. Al-Jazeera said it will also appeal the verdict, once the court releases its full ruling in the next 30 days.

Former Al Jazeera whore Sue Turton was convicted

in absentia in Egypt, will never work for a news

agency again and can consider herself lucky

Immediately after the ruling, Fahmy's wife, Marwa, wept in the court.

Speaking to CBC News, she called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to step in and save the Canadian, who gave up his Egyptian citizenship earlier this year.

"What I'm asking for right now is Mr. Harper to interfere," she said. "It's time for him to prove that he can help and support a Canadian citizen" that he knows is innocent. I believe this [verdict] is extreme injustice and extremely unfair," she said.

Marwa and Fahmy's brother, Adel, said they are hoping Fahmy will get the same treatment as Peter Greste, one of the Al-Jazeera journalists who was charged Saturday but deported to his native Australia in February.

"We're done in relying on or putting any hope on the judicial process, because it is very obvious that it is meaningless," Adel Fahmy told CBC News.

CBC's Derek Stoffel was in the courtroom and spoke to Canada's ambassador to Egypt Troy Lulashnyk immediately after the verdict.

Al Jazeera was compromised and at the beck and call of Obama and his murdering CIA

"Obviously Canada is deeply disappointed in the outcome of this process," Lulashnyk said. "Canada has consistently called for Mr. Fahmy's full and immediate release. And this is what we will continue to be doing. While he is in Egypt we will continue to provide him the consular support necessary and will be following up with officials."

Lynne Yelich, the minister of state (Foreign Affairs and Consular), released a statement early Saturday saying the decision "undermines confidence in the rule of law in Egypt," and called for Fahmy's "immediate return" to Canada.

The 41-year-old Fahmy's troubles began in December 2013 when he was working as the Cairo bureau chief for Qatar-based satellite news broadcaster Al-Jazeera English.

Greste is now a convicted criminal, will never work for a news agency again and should consider himself lucky he was deported rather than executed for the murders he and his co-propagandists are responsible for

He, Greste and Egyptian producer Baher Mohammed were abruptly arrested and charged with a slew of offences, including supporting the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, a banned organization affiliated with ousted Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi, and with fabricating footage to undermine the country's national security.

The trio maintained their innocence throughout, saying they were just doing their jobs, but after a trial which was internationally decried as a sham, they were found guilty and sentenced to prison terms.

Greste was suddenly allowed to leave Egypt before their retrial began, under a law which allows for the deportation of foreign nationals convicted of crimes.

The BBC pedophile protectors were quick to showcase Turton following the verdict in a failed attempt to whitewash her and her co-conspirator propagandists

Greste told CBC News he wants more than deportations; he wants all three of them pardoned, noting that even though he's in Australia he's technically a convicted terrorist and can no longer travel to countries that have an extradition treaty with Egypt.

"This has to do with fundamental principles of freedom of speech, of rule of law, of due process — and the Egyptian president now has the ability to correct this injustice," he said.

Fahmy gave up his dual Egyptian citizenship while behind bars in the hopes that he could follow the same path as Greste, but that didn't happen. He was, however, granted bail in February shortly after his second trial got underway.

All three Al Jazeera frauds are lucky to have escaped the death penalty, and in addition to the deaths of innocent Egyptians are responsible for the deaths of legitimate journalists as a result of their illegal actions and "reporting" without a license in Egypt

Throughout the proceedings, Fahmy has pointed out that his case had been complicated by politics in the Middle East, referring to himself as a "pawn" in a rift between Egypt and Qatar, which owns Al-Jazeera.
