Junis Kuthair
NUJ members picketed th US Embassy in London to highlight the case of Junis Kuthair an Iraqi cameraman who has been held in the infamous Abu Ghraib prison since last September. The Coalition cant claim he was a supporter of Saddam, he was after all jailed by the previous regime (In Abu Ghraib before it went downhill under new management) for writing something un patriotic about the Baathe Party. Neither can they claim that he was anything to do with the resistance, in the weeks leading to his arrest he was constantly with British independant film makers. We wrote a polite letter to the American Ambassador outlining some of our concerns with regard to this case. Keen to demonstrate their legendary international arrogance the Embassy staff not only refused to talk to us, they also refused to accept our letter at the building's reception. So much for democracy, freedom of speech, 5th ammendment ect........
