Monday May 24th - Demo in Support of Iraqi Journalist Jailed in Abu Ghraib

The London Freelance Branch of the NUJ is calling a demo at the American
Embassy 11am-1pm monday May 24th. The focus of our demo is Iraqi journalist
Junis Kuthair who has been in Abu Ghraib prison since september 2003.

No reason was given for his arrest though we are fairly sure that the US
forces were unhappy about him interviewing Iraqi cops who were wounded by
US soldiers in Falluja. We also want to highlight the general repression of
the Arab media in Iraq.

So please come down, bring banners and imagination, all welcome Read more >>
