a. USA
b. India
c. Iran
d. Egypt

ANSWER: Egypt
 
Ahmed Mansour, who works for the channel's Arabic-language service, was detained as he tried to board a flight from Berlin to Qatar. A court in Egypt's capital Cairo sentenced him to 15 years in prison in absentia last year on torture charges. The news channel claims that charges made against Mr Mansour, who has dual British and Egyptian citizenship, are absurd and false.
