一年前，三名半岛电视台记者在埃及被逮捕。他们被控支持被取缔的穆斯林兄弟会。星期四，这三名记者将向法院提出上诉。
澳大利亚公民格雷斯特和埃及裔加拿大公民法赫米被判7年监禁；他们的埃及同事默哈迈德被判10年监禁。
格雷斯特的兄弟迈克星期一对记者说，他的家人希望这次上诉能使格雷斯特获释。
今年7月，埃及总统塞西在这三名记者被定罪后表示，必须尊重这一判决；他不准备进行干预。
半岛电视台坚持说，这三名记者只是在做报道新闻的本职工作，并表示对他们的判决感到“震惊”。
Three Al-Jazeera journalists are marking one year since they were arrested in Egypt on charges of supporting the banned Muslim Brotherhood, as they look toward a court date Thursday to appeal their case.
Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian-Canadian Mohamed Fahmy are in prison on seven-year sentences, while their Egyptian colleague Baher Mohamed is serving a 10-year sentence.
Greste's brother Michael told reporters Monday that the family has to be hopeful the court appeal will lead to the journalists' release.
Egyptian President Mohamed Fattah el-Sissi said after the journalists were convicted in July that the decision must be respected and he would not interfere.
Al-Jazeera has insisted its workers were simply doing their jobs reporting the news, and the news agency called the verdict against them "shocking."
