Greste and his colleagues Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed have been in jail for more than 400 days after being charged with airing false news and aiding the outlaw Muslim Brotherhood.

He is currently awaiting a retrial on the charges, after he was initially sentenced to seven years in jail.

However, Peter’s brother Andrew Greste told The Courier-Mail he had heard nothing of the presidential decree.

“I would be cautious but gee, if it’s true, it would be outstanding,” he said.
