Free Zaidi call by Iraq clerics BAGHDAD: Clerics yesterday called for the release of the Iraqi journalist sentenced to three years in prison for throwing his shoes at George W Bush. Sheikh Suhail Al Iqabi, a follower of anti-US cleric Moqtada Al Sadr, said the sentence against Muntadhar Al Zaidi is "a verdict against the Iraqi people who refuse the American occupation" of Iraq. Efforts to release detained Sadrists and others who have opposed the American presence in the country also should be expedited, Al Iqabi said in his sermon in Baghdad's Shi'ite stronghold of Sadr City. Al Zaidi's brazen act during a December news conference by then-US president Bush and Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki has turned the 30-year-old reporter into a folk hero across the Arab world, where Bush is reviled for the invasion of Iraq. Another Shi'ite cleric in the Sadrist stronghold of Kufa also condemned the prison sentence. "We just wonder on what law the judge has based his ...
