MEAA: Peter Greste and colleagues – the fight for justice continues

Thursday, 26 June 2014

MEAA has been involved in campaigning for the release of the Al Jazeera journalists since December last year and we thank the many MEAA members who have participated in the campaign so far. Now Peter and the other journalists imprisoned for their journalism need our help more than ever.

How you can help:

Global campaign. Today MEAA, together with the International Federation of Journalists and the International Freedom of Expression Exchange, initiated a global campaign among journalist unions and media organisations to write to the Egyptian government demanding the release of the Al Jazeera staff.
