To Egyptian Field Marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sisi:

Our son, Peter Greste, has been in jail since December 29 awaiting trial for his work as a journalist. We sincerely believe he has done nothing wrong and is not a supporter of terrorism. We humbly request you show compassion for Peter and his colleagues and ensure their early release.

Help free my son

My name is Juris, I’m from Brisbane. 44 days ago my son was thrown into solitary confinement in an Egyptian jail for spreading “false news.” It’s a nightmare. His mother and I don't know when we’ll see him again. International pressure has already helped speed up Peter’s case, but we need your help to get him free.

In days Peter will be brought in front of a judge and could be locked up for years. He’s done nothing wrong, but in Egypt this might not be enough. He was simply working for a TV channel the government dislikes - Al Jazeera. Our best chance of seeing him again soon is if thousands of Aussies join us and ask the powerful head of Egypt’s army to show compassion and set Peter free.

There is hope for Peter - if we act fast. We’re hearing that the Egyptian government is feeling the international pressure as a result of their handling of the situation. Please help us and sign this urgent petition supporting our request to have Peter released as soon as possible.
