As Ramadan begins, Reporters Without Borders calls for the release of five

On the occasion of the first day of Ramadan, Reporters Without Borders has appealed to the U.S. Secretary of State, Donald Rumsfeld, to obtain the release of five journalists currently being held by the U.S. military in Iraq.

"During this sacred month of Ramadan, which represents a time for sharing and forgiveness between Muslims and the rest of the world, we call for Donald Rumsfeld to take whatever steps necessary to ensure that the journalists now being held by the U.S. military are freed as soon as possible. These journalists, who are all foreign press correspondents, and which include an American media correspondent, have been denied access to a lawyer, and the right to receive a visit from their families or their employers. In all five cases, the American forces have presented no proof that would substantiate their involvement in any illegal activity," Reporters Without Borders stated.
