Bush 'shoe thrower' claims he was tortured in prison
Al-Baghdadia TV said Muntadhar al-Zaidi had arrived in Damascus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Al-Zaidi's brother, Dhirgham al-Zaidi, told CNN that the 30-year-old journalist was to travel in a private plane to Greece for medical treatment.
Shortly after he left prison, the 30-year-old journalist visited the studios of his employer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Al-Baghdadia TV, where he spoke to other reporters about his experience. He wore a sash in the colors of the Iraqi national flag draped around his shoulders.
Muntadhar al-Zaidi said he was beaten with cables and pipes and tortured with electricity immediately after guards removed him from a news conference for hurling both shoes at Bush. He said he was taken into another room and beaten even as the news conference continued.
However, he remained defiant about the incident that landed him in prison.
"I got my chance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I didn't miss it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
"I am not a hero,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I admit that," he added. "I am a person with a stance. I saw my country burning."
Al-Zaidi, who was serving a one-year sentence after the jail-throwing incident December 14, was given a "conditional discharge."
Under Iraqi law,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a "conditional discharge" allows for the release of a prisoner after he serves three-quarters of his sentence, on good behavior. invasion had wrought on his country: orphans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], widows, refugees.
He said he promised those affected by the war that should he get the opportunity, he would avenge their loss.
That chance came at the news conference, when al-Zaidi threw both his shoes at Bush and called him a "dog," two of the worst insults in the Middle East. Bush ducked the shoes and was not hurt.
During his remarks, al-Zaidi offered one apology: to fellow journalists who perceived his act as unprofessionalism. Sound off: Was a jail sentence too harsh a punishment?
"Professionalism does not preclude nationalism,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
Al-Zaidi was sentenced to jail for "assaulting a foreign head of state on an official visit to Iraq,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
His original three-year sentence was reduced to a single year by an appellate court in April,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The journalist's family and supporters had waited for two days outside the Baghdad jail where he was held,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], initially hoping he would be freed Monday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but procedural delays kept that from happening.
Last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], al-Zaidi's family prepared for his release,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plastering the walls of their modest Baghdad home with his posters.
"We are happy, like any detainee's family would be happy for the release of its son after the bitter time he spent in jail," brother Dhirgham al-Zaidi said.
He said the family had received many phone calls from supporters across the country who planned to travel to Baghdad and welcome al-Zaidi after his release,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
