Mountazer Al Zaidi is arrested and put in jail after throwing a pair of his shoes towards U.S. former President G.W. Bush in Bagdad.

Since seized, he has been treated badly, beaten and kept in jail without trial.

We believe that it was his right to act like this during Bush'es speech. He is brave and he is a well-known journalist in Bagdad. He is free to express his feeling in front of all the people who thought the same but dare not to act.

Mountazer Al Zaidi should be free because freedom of expression is a human right!
