Egyptian prosecutors have called for the maximum possible prison terms for three Al Jazeera journalists at their trial in Cairo. Prosecutors delivered their closing arguments Thursday, accusing the journalists of producing false reports and giving a platform to the Muslim Brotherhood. Peter Greste faces up to seven years in prison while Baher Mohamed and Mohamed Fahmy face up to 15. They have been imprisoned since December. The Obama administration, meanwhile, has said it “looks forward to working with Abdel Fattah al-Sisi,” Egypt’s former army chief, who won the presidential election in a landslide. International monitors criticized the election and the environment of repression in Egypt.
