Muntazer al-Zaidi, the journalist who threw his shoes at George Bush, has just been given three years in prison by a judge in Iraq. This is just so outrageous. So much for democracy in Iraq.
Is our government going to protest about this given that tit is a puppet government of the west so you would have thought there might be some leverage that could be be brought to bear. But then again maybe the invasion and occupation had absolutely nothing to do with democracy and free speech.
We need international demonstrations to demand his release immediately. Hopefully Stop the War will be including it in the demands around the G20 demonstration.
It's even more appalling when you consider that the war criminals Bush and Blair are still walking the Earth after being responsible for the deaths of 100,000 of people and the displacement of millions.
In the time that he has been held since the incident he has been beaten and tortured by Bush and Blair's freedom loving buddies in Iraq.
