Court order to free Ibrahim Jassam Mohammed

Ibrahim Jassam Mohammed, a freelance photographer who works for Reuters and Iraqi media outlets, has been held by US Army in Iraq since early September. An Iraqi court ruled on Sunday that there is no evidence against Mohammed and he must be released,
"I'm pleased to learn that a court ordered Ibrahim Jassam released as there was no evidence against him," said Reuters News Editor-in-Chief David Schlesinger. "I hope the U.S. authorities comply with this order swiftly to reunite him with his colleagues, friends and family." link
