Press release RSF 2 February 2006 Austrian national Kamal Sayid Qadir, jailed for 30 years in early January 2006 for posting "defamatory" articles online, is still behind bars despite an announcement more than a week ago by representatives of the autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan government that his release was imminent. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) called on the Austrian authorities to maintain efforts to obtain a quick release for the cyberdissident. "We must continue to campaign for Kamal Sayid Qadir and his family", the organisation said. The Associated Press news agency reported a statement from Austrian Foreign Minister, Ursula Plassnik, on 26 January 2006 that he had been freed the previous day. This report turned out to be incorrect. ================== HURIDOCS-Tech listserv ===================== Send mail intended for the list to < >.
