Amal Clooney 'absolutely delighted' as Al-Jazeera journalists pardoned

Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney has said she is “absolutely delighted” that the Egyptian president has pardoned two journalists for Al-Jazeera English.

The state-run MENA news agency said a third person from the case, which included a number of other defendants along with Australian journalist Peter Greste, was also pardoned but was not identified by name. Mr Greste was deported earlier this year.
