Taysir Alluni: Where the freedom of Press failed and no one cares.

Alluni, began his career as an Arabic translator for a news agency in Granada, Spain.He is credited as being the only journalist based in Afghanistan in October 2001 to show the world what the US war machine was doing to one of the world's poorest countries. Alluni's work in that war-torn country came to an end when US forces bombed Aljazeera's Kabul office. Later in Iraq, he narrowly escaped the US bombing of the Aljazeera Baghdad bureau. The onslaught killed his colleague, Aljazeera reporter Tariq Ayub.
The Spanish High Court found him guilty of collaboration with al-Qaida, sentencing the Syrian-born Spaniard to seven years in jail. Alluni who interviewed Osama bin Laden said he was only doing his job as a journalist, but the prosecution alleged he was in league with al-Qaida and its leader and accused of acting as a financial courier to the group while in Afghanistan.
