Al-Jazeera journo still in German custody

AL-JAZEERA journalist Ahmed Mansour remains in German custody as officials decide whether to act on an Egyptian request for his extradition.

A PROMINENT Al-Jazeera journalist will remain in German custody for a second night, prosecutors say, adding they have not yet decided whether to extradite him to Egypt or set him free.

AS dozens of supporters protested on Sunday in front of the Berlin court building where Ahmed Mansour was being held, his lawyer, Fazli Altin, called for the journalist's immediate release, saying that Germany was getting involved in a politically tainted case.
