Egypt has finally ordered the release of Al Jazeera journalist Abdullah Elshamy, 147 days after he began a hunger strike for being imprisoned without charge. Elshamy and 13 other people are being set free due to "health conditions," possibly as soon as Tuesday. He was arrested August while covering supporters of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. Three Al Jazeera English journalists are still detained for reporting "false news," and a verdict on their case is due June 23.
