A United Nations security officer attempts to eject Kenya-based foreign correspondents demonstrating against the imprisonment of three Al Jazeera journalists in Egypt, at the United Nations Environment programme (UNEP) headquarters in Nairobi January 13, 2015, as a reception by Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry took place nearby. Two of three Al Jazeera journalists jailed in Egypt have applied to be deported under a new law after the country's highest court ordered their retrial but did not free them as their families had hoped. Australian Peter Greste, Canadian-Egyptian Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohamed were sentenced in June to seven to 10 years in jail for spreading lies to help a “terrorist organization” – a reference to Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
