This week has seen a string of threats from the President including warnings ‘a civilisation will die’ if a ceasefire wasn’t reached and mocking Islam on Easter Sunday.

In 2014, Australian journalist Peter Greste was given a seven-year jail sentence for allegations of 'airing false news' as a reporter for al-Jazeera in Egypt.
