The three al-Jazeera journalists who have been held in an Egyptian prison since December had the seventh session of their trial on Friday, coinciding with World Press Freedom Day.
Sadly, to no avail. Despite the judge wishing the reporters a good World Press Freedom day, he once again refused their bail, with the court adjourning until May 15.
The trio are charged with having connections to the banned Muslim Brotherhood, with al-Jazeera being pinned as part of a conspiracy in support of the Brotherhood.
