Jail sentence lifted on Al Jazeera reporter

An Egyptian appeals court has overturned a ruling that an Al-Jazeera journalist Howaida Taha tarnished the country's reputation by running a report on police torture. But the court upheld Taha's conviction that she fabricated videotapes used in the documentary, Beyond the sun. Though she has been spared a six-month prison sentence she must pay a £2,000 fine.
