Greste to fight seven-year jail sentence

Greste to fight seven-year jail sentence

Australian journalist Peter Greste has filed an appeal against his seven year jail sentence in Egypt.

He and two other Al-Jazeera journalists were found guilty in June of spreading false news about Egypt and aiding the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood.

Their lawyers will contest five points in the case including evidence and the arrest procedure.

A date has not been set for the appeal.
