Journalist: Release from jail has been like a rebirth

Australian journalist Peter Greste said it was a great relief to be freed from prison in Egypt but added in an interview on Al Jazeera that he felt “incredible angst” about leaving two colleagues behind in prison.

Al Jazeera journalist Greste was released on Sunday after 400 days in a Cairo jail and later left Egypt. He is in Cyprus until he travels home to Australia.

He had been sentenced to seven years on charges that included aiding a terrorist group, security officials said.
