FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda German police have arrested one of the most senior Al-Jazeera journalists, Ahmed Mansour, at Berlin airport at the request of the Egyptian authorities.
Mansour was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison by a criminal court in Cairo in 2014 on charges of rape, theft and torturing a lawyer in Tahrir Square in 2011. Mansour who was reporting from Tahrir Square described the charges as absurd. Al Jazeera said the charge was a flimsy attempt a character assassination against one of its leading journalists.
Mansour, who has dual Egyptian and British citizenship, was arrested at Berlin’s Tegel Airport on Saturday as he was boarding a Qatar Airways flight to Doha, where he now lives. Mansour will remain in German custody until Monday when he will go before a court, who will rule on whether he should continue to be detained.
In October last year, Interpol rejected an Egyptian request for an international warrant against Mansour. They said the request “did not meet Interpol’s rules.”
Mansour’s detention has caused outrage, coming a week after the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was received by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel on a state visit.
Saad Djebbar, a lawyer for Al Jazeera, told Reuters Ahmed Mansour, had been abruptly and unexpectedly arrested in Germany.”This is a very serious development,” said Djebbar. “We knew that the Egyptians were going to set such a trap to harass our journalists and that is what has happened.”
Mansour himself wrote on his Facebook page that Germany had become a tool of terrorists like Sisi.
