Al Jazeera is condemning the 15 year jail sentence given in Egypt to one of the network's journalists as 'irrational'.

Ahmed Taha was sentenced in absentia for 'spreading false news'.

He was charged for interviewing Egyptian opposition leader and former presidential candidate Abdul Moneim Aboul Fotouh four years ago.

Other Al Jazeera journalists have been targeted and detained in Egypt.

So why is Egypt silencing critical voices?

Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom
