Freed Al Jazeera journalist Peter Greste says it is too soon to
celebrate because his two colleagues still face retrial in Egypt.
Greste was freed from an Egyptian prison earlier this month and his two
colleagues were released last week. He told BBC on Thursday that the
controversial court cases seem to be moving in the right direction.
Greste had initially been sentenced to seven years in jail for spreading
false information and helping the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. He was
deported from Egypt on his release.
Colleagues Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohammed are still in Egypt and are
required to report regularly to the police in advance of a retrial
expected to begin next week.
Their imprisonment for more than a year sparked numerous protests throughout the world.
