Peter Greste - S1, Ep3

Overnight and out of the blue, Peter Greste and his colleagues were arrested - simply for doing their jobs as journalists in Egypt, in 2013. Their arrest and imprisonment sparked a worldwide campaign for their release. Hear from Peter on his experience of solitary confinement, how he managed to stay strong in the face of injustice, and why he's now speaking out for press freedom, as journalism becomes an increasingly dangerous job.
