‘Zaidi’s apology was forced’

Tuesday, December 23, 2008
BAGHDAD: The apology letter from the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush was written against his will after he was tortured in detention, his brother said on Monday.

Muntazar al-Zaidi was wrestled to the ground moments after throwing his shoes during a Dec. 14 news conference of Bush and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The investigating judge in the case acknowledged last week that al-Zaidi was beaten around the face and eyes.

But the journalist’s brother Uday told The Associated Press that he visited Muntazar in jail on Sunday and saw more-severe injuries, including a missing tooth and burns on his ears made by cigarettes. Uday al-Zaidi said his brother intends to file suit related to the injuries, but did not have details on when it would be filed or who specifically it would name.
