Greste says his imprisonment in Egypt still constrains his freedom

Australian journalist Peter Greste, who was released from prison in Egypt more than two-and-a-half years ago, still “grapples with freedom and airports,” Stephen Brook writes for The Australian. Greste now finds his “fame” getting in the way of his reporting and says traveling continues to be an obstacle. “There’s another problem quite beyond the fame and that is that I’m a convicted terrorist … I have an outstanding prison sentence to serve. And so any country that still has an extradition treaty with Egypt is technically a problem for me and that’s not an insignificant number of countries.” While Greste, Mohamed Fahmy, and Baher Mohamed were released following the case that was known as the Marriott cell, they were never cleared formally.
