Australian
Professor Peter Greste is an Australian journalist, author, media freedom activist and academic. He began his career covering Latin America, the Middle East and Africa for the BBC and Al Jazeera.
He made headlines in 2013, when police arrested him and two colleagues in Cairo on terrorism charges. The case was widely condemned as an attack on press freedom. Egypt eventually released Peter, and he went on to become a press freedom campaigner. His book, The Correspondent, explores his case and the wider ‘war on journalism’. It has been updated and re-released to coincide with a movie starring Richard Roxburgh.
