Groups Decry Prosecuting Photographer

Published: November 21, 2007
BAGHDAD - Iraqi journalists and international advocacy groups warned Tuesday that prosecuting an Associated Press photographer held for more than 19 months without charge is a worrisome precedent that threatens media freedom in the region.
The Pentagon also raised the possibility U.S. forces could continue to hold Bilal Hussein even if the Iraqi court acquits him.
Military officials have alleged that Hussein, 36, had links to terrorist groups.
The AP's investigations have found no support for allegations that he was anything other than a working journalist in a war zone.
