About

Award-winning foreign correspondent Peter Greste was arrested in Cairo in December 2013. He had been in Egypt only weeks, working on a short relief posting as a journalist for an international TV news network. Peter’s parents, Lois and Juris Greste, discuss his plight, representing the FREE PETER GRESTE campaign.

After a trial which attracted worldwide attention, on June 23, 2014, Peter was convicted of reporting false news and endangering Egypt’s national security. He was sentenced to seven years jail. He remains in Cairo’s Tora Prison.
