		</div><p>Egypt’s Foreign Ministry has summoned the British ambassador over comments he made in court after a judge sentenced three Al-Jazeera English journalists to three years prison each for reporting “false news.”</p>
<p>The ministry said it objected to John Casson’s comments, calling them “unacceptable interference” in the country’s judiciary.</p>
<p>The court sentenced the three journalists on Saturday, sparking international outcry in the latest attack on free speech in the country.</p>
<p>Speaking to television cameras in Arabic after the verdict, Mr Casson said he was concerned it could “undermine confidence in the basis of Egypt’s stability, both in Egypt and abroad”.</p>
<p>The comments were posted on the British Embassy’s Facebook page, and were met with a wave of negative reaction in Arabic and English.</p>
