Welcome Sami Al Hajj back to Qatar!

Venue:Doha Airport, sat.31 may - 18.00 p.m.

He was seized by Pakistani intelligence officers while travelling near the Afghan border in December 2001.
Despite holding a legitimate visa to work for Al Jazeera's Arabic channel in Afghanistan, he was handed to the US military in January 2002 and sent to Guantanamo Bay.
Al-Hajj, who is originally from Sudan, was held as an "enemy combatant" without ever facing trial or charges.

Al Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Hajj has hit out at the treatment of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay military prison where he was held for nearly six and a half years.

He said that "rats are treated with more humanity", than the inmates, whose "human dignity was violated".

Still, al-Hajj said: "I was lucky because God allowed that I be released."

They preach about human rights, humanity, mercy of God, love and etc. yet they condone all kinds of inhumane treatment, torture, kinds of atrocious behavior you can never even imagine.

You want proof? Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo, Palestine, etc. And you know who is in the front rows of this craziness? God-fearing, God-loving Evangelical Bush and his Zionist buddies.

The sad thing is that common Americans get the heat. Hope bad guys come to understand that all they do is harming humanity...
