(CNN) — Egyptian authorities have served Al Jazeera with a charge sheet that identifies eight of its staff on a list of 20 people — all believed to be journalists — for allegedly conspiring with a terrorist group, the network said Wednesday.
The 20 are wanted by Egyptian authorities on charges of conspiring with a terror group and “broadcasting false information and rumors to convince the international community that Egypt was undergoing a civil war,” according to Egypt’s state-run media.
The eight Al Jazeera journalists include three — Australian Peter Greste, and Eygptians Baher Mohamed and Mohamed Fahmy — who have been held by authorities since December 29, the network said in a written statement.
