Photographer Still Awaiting Trial

I was a bit taken aback to find that their is no coverage of this case on indymedia. Well here are the basics with some links, make of it what you will.

Bilal Hussein was employed by Associated Press to photograph events in Iraq. With no previous experience of photography, he went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his efforts.

On April 12, 2006, Bilal Hussein was arrested by the US military and accused of colluding with Iraqi insurgents.
As far as I can find out, he has not been tried yet and is due to be tried by the Iraqi justice system, but the judge has ordered the proceedings be kept secret.
I think this is worthy of your attention. If you think this man is innocent, you can sign the petition online. www.freebilal.org/ -

Here are some links for the details of the story of Bilal Hussein. If you google Bilal Hussein, you can see some of the work of his and other award winning war photojournalists.
