Germany: Journalist held on Egyptian warrant

PROTESTERS called for the release of al-Jazeera journalist Ahmed Mansour yesterday after German authorities arrested him on an Egyptian warrant.

Egyptian-British Mr Mansour, a senior journalist with the Qatar-based broadcaster’s Arabic service, was detained at Tegel airport in Berlin on Saturday while trying to board a Qatar Airways flight to Doha.

He had previously been sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison in Egypt for allegedly torturing an unnamed lawyer in Tahrir Square in 2011, a charge both he and al-Jazeera rejected.

“During the course of the day there will be several meetings and of course there can be at any time also a decision to set him free again,” said Berlin Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Martin Steltner.

In a video posted on Facebook, Mr Mansour criticised German authorities for detaining him on behalf of Egypt.
