Al Jazeera journalist released from Egyptian detention after four years

Al Jazeera journalist Hisham Abdel Aziz has been released in Egypt after being detained for four years on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist group. He was arrested in 2019 at Cairo airport on his way to visit family. Al Jazeera has reported that his detention had been repeatedly extended on "baseless allegations" and that his health had suffered. Two more of its journalists, Bahaa Eldin Ibrahim and Rabie el-Sheikh, arrested in 2020 and 2021 respectively, are still being held in Egypt.
