An appeal hearing for three Al Jazeera journalists jailed in Egypt has ended just minutes after it began.
The appeal judge is now considering the application and is expected to make a decision shortly.
Canadian-Egyptian Mohammed Fahmy, Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohammed have been held since December 2013.
Prosecutors are reportedly seeking a retrial.
During the appeal hearing at Egypt's Court of Cassation lawyers also requested that the three journalists be granted bail and that is being considered by the judge.
Sky News Middle East Correspondent Sherine Tadros said: "At least that would mean they would not be in jail while waiting for a retrial, which could take months."
Tadros added: "Everyone is struggling to understand why these three journalists, who did nothing wrong, have been jailed on terrorism charges."
