Al Jazeera uses video wall to publicize #FreeAJStaff hashtag

After news that three Al Jazeera journalists will be jailed for 12 years for, according to the Egyptian government, aiding a terrorist organization, the organization used its huge on-set video walls to get the word out.

Both Al Jazeera English and Al Jazeera America used their Doha, Qatar set’s curved video walls to show the hashtag #FreeAJStaff and the message “Free Them Now.”

During the opening sequence of “Newshour,” the hashtag was emblazoned on the screen as the host introduced the show before moving to headlines.

With a verdict imminent, here are some pics for you tweet out with the hashtag #FreeAJStaff. Please RT! pic.twitter.com/iGHcm8GOfE
