The Committee to Protect Journalists is criticizing the US military for detaining a journalist working for Canadian Television, CTV. Jawed Ahmad was detained in October and has been held without charge at a US military base in Afghanistan. Joel Simon of the Committee to Protect Journalists said, “The United States military must explain the reason for his detention and accord him due process. If he is not charged with any crime, then he must be released immediately.” At least two other journalists are currently being held by US forces. Al Jazeera cameraman Sami Al-Hajj is imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, and Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein is being detained in Iraq.
