Reporter Peter Greste, imprisoned in Egypt for over a year for committing journalism, will be deported to Australia.

Will that mean he is freed? Supposedly the deportation would be so he can "continue his sentence" there. Will Australia have to promise to imprison him? Will Australia be allowed to give him the retrial he is owed?

His Egyptian colleague Baher Mohamed may remain in prison for years. Al-Sisi probably hopes we will forget about him once Greste and Fahmy are safely home.
