Convicted Al-Jazeera journalists appeal to Egypt for pardons

Australian Peter Greste said Tuesday in New York City that they're also seeking support from world leaders attending the U.N. General Assembly.

Last week, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi pardoned other journalists still in Egypt who were found guilty of broadcasting what authorities said were false reports.

Greste was not on the list, nor were the two others with him in New York: Dominic Kane, an Al Jazeera producer, and Sue Turton, a former Al-Jazeera correspondent.
