CAIRO: Egyptian authorities have released Al Jazeera journalist Ahmed Al Nagdy from detention, the pan-Arab, Qatar-based television network reported on Wednesday, quoting Al Nagdy’s lawyer.
The move comes as Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi visits Doha, his first since the two countries restored relations last year following a regional diplomatic rift.
The visit comes as Egypt seeks further financial support and investment to cushion an economic shock caused by the war in Ukraine.
