British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) staff and journalists protest the imprisonment in Egypt of Al Jazeera journalists Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed, by taping up their mouths outside New Broadcasting House in London, June 24, 2014 in this handout photograph released by the BBC. Journalists Greste, Fahmy and Mohamed were jailed for seven years each by an Egyptian judge on Monday, in what Washington called "chilling, draconian sentences" that must be reversed. Cairo defended the journalists' convictions - for aiding a "terrorist organisation" - and rejected the widespread condemnation as "interference in its internal affairs". The three denied the charge of working with the now banned Muslim Brotherhood.
