Fate Of Other Al Jazeera Journalists Uncertain

The fiancee of Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Fahmy says she is "hopeful" he will also be released after colleague Peter Greste was deported.

"His deportation is in its final stages. We are hopeful," Marwa Omara said.

Canadian-Egyptian Mr Fahmy has been held with Mr Greste, an Australian, and Egyptian national Baher Mohamed for 400 days.

The trio were jailed for offences including spreading lies to help a "terrorist organisation" - but were facing a retrial after their original convictions were overturned.

Although it appears Mr Fahmy could be deported under a presidential decree because of his dual nationality, it is unclear what will happen to Mr Mohamed. 

The Qatar-based Al Jazeera network has said it "will not rest until Baher and Mohamed also regain their freedom".

The arrest of the three reporters set off a global outcry, with the United Nations leading calls for their release.

Their high-profile trial proved a public relations nightmare for President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has cracked down on Islamists since toppling President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.

Amnesty International said Mr Greste's release should not overshadow the ongoing imprisonment of Mr Fahmy and Mr Mohamed.

The two "must not be forgotten as their colleague Peter Greste is deported from Egypt," the rights group said in a statement.

Police arrested the journalists at the peak of a diplomatic row between Cairo and Qatar, which owns Al Jazeera.

The broadcaster had been critical of the deadly crackdown on Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement following his overthrow.

Qatar has since moved to mend ties with Egypt, and Al Jazeera shut down its Arabic-language Egyptian affiliate channel, which supported the Brotherhood.
