U.S. to submit evidence against Iraqi photographer
Thu Nov 29, 2007 11:30am EST

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military will submit
evidence to the Iraqi judiciary on December 9 against
an award-winning Associated Press photographer who
has been detained for 19 months, the news agency
said on Thursday.

The U.S. military has accused Bilal Hussein, a 36-year-
old Iraqi, of working with insurgents in Iraq. He was
seized in April 2006 in Ramadi, capital of western
Anbar province, and has been imprisoned without
charge ever since.

The AP has repeatedly called for the immediate release
of Hussein, who was part of its photo team that won a
Pulitzer prize in 2005.

It said in a news report from Baghdad that under Iraqi
law, an investigative judge would review the evidence
and decide whether to dismiss the case or send it to
a three-member court for trial.
