BBC News - Foreign NGO workers reach Cyprus after leaving Egypt: "Seventeen foreign democracy activists, including Americans, at the centre of a row between Egypt and the US, have left Cairo after a travel ban was lifted.
On Thursday a US military plane flew them from Cairo to Cyprus. It is unclear how long they will stay there.
The activists - who worked at non-governmental organisations - were on trial for allegedly receiving illegal foreign funding and stirring up unrest.
The ongoing case has led to a major row, risking $1.3bn (£813m) in US aid."
