Al Jazeera cameraman released

The Al Jazeera cameraman held at Guantanamo Bay for six years without charge has been released. Sami al-Haj, who suffered health problems after a long hunger strike, arrived in the Sudanese capital Khartoum last Friday. He was seized by Pakistani intelligence officers near the Afghan border in December 2001 despite holding a legitimate visa to work for Al Jazeera's Arabic channel in Afghanistan. He was handed over to the US military in January 2002. "His detention... is a grave injustice and represents a threat to all journalists working in conflict areas," said Joel Simon, executive director of the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists.
