Mohamed Fahmy: Shouting from behind the bars of a cage in which he and his co-accused colleagues were kept, Mohamed Fahmy said he didn't understand the reason for the trial, which marks what's thought to be the first time journalists have been charged with terrorism-related offences in Egypt, according to Huffington Post. Fahmy was working for satellite news broadcaster Al-Jazeera English when he was arrested on Dec. 29 along with his colleagues Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohamed and An Egyptian-Canadian journalist who has spent more than 100 days in a Cairo prison told a court Thursday that his trial was "a joke" as the judge presiding over the case dismissed a key part of the prosecution's evidence. "I want to get out of this place! ... I am going to expose all of this!" he shouted. "There are crimes against humanity taking place. Nothing is right in this system."
