Ibrahim Jassam

I noted your recent posting on the Reuter cameraman Ibrahim Jassam. The situation seems most unsatisfactory. I am sure that Thomson Reuters have been active in his case, however, I wonder if anything more could be done. Jassam, like the Gitmo detainees, seems to be in a sort of limbo. In view of President Obama's recent remarks on Guantánamo Bay could we not draw his attention to the fate of other prisonerers in other extra-legal detention? Perhaps David Schlesinger could find a way of alerting the White House to this injustice. ■
