Mohamed Fahmy Files $100m Lawsuit Against His Employer Al-Jazeera

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 May, 2015 01:11 PM
    A Canadian journalist on trial for widely denounced terror charges in Egypt has filed a lawsuit against his employer.
     
    Mohamed Fahmy says he is suing satellite news broadcaster Al Jazeera for $100 million in damages.
     
    He is accusing the Qatar-based news agency of negligence.
     
    Fahmy, who announced his legal action from Cairo, says his lawsuit has been filed in a Canadian court.
     
    Fahmy was arrested along with two other Al Jazeera English colleagues in December 2013 and charged with several terror-related offences.
     
    He spent more than a year in prison before being released on bail earlier this year, and is currently undergoing his second trial after a successful appeal of his earlier convictions.
