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.
