Ahmed Subhy Mansour

Germany released on June 22 Al-Jazeera correspondent Ahmed Mansour who was arrested on the weekend at the request of his native Egypt, the Doha-based channel said.

The German government on June 22 played down the chances of a prominent Al Jazeera journalist held in Berlin since the weekend being extradited to Egypt, citing concerns about the Egyptian legal process.

Al Jazeera journalist Ahmed Mansour said he was arrested June 20 at a Berlin airport, after Germany acted on an international arrest warrant issued by his native country Egypt.
