International human rights lawyer Amal Clooney will travel to Cairo in hopes of freeing jailed journalist Mohamed Fahmy, it has been reported.
Fahmy, the journalist said in a statement released by his family, that the trial date on February 12 represents their worst nightmare, to have to go through another circus of a retrial, CNN reported.
George Clooney's wife said that she has been in touch with the Fahmy's family and they are all delighted that Peter Greste has been released and Fahmy's counsel they are doing all they can to ensure the same outcome for Fahmy, who has suffered the same injustice.
Fahmy was one of three Al Jazeera journalists arrested in Cairo in December 2013 and accused of being part of the country's banned Muslim Brotherhood.
