アルジャジーラ、アロウニィ氏有罪に抗議の記事（アルジャジーラ英語版）
９月２６日のアルジャジーラ英語版には、昨日のスペイン最高裁「スペイン・アルカイダ」裁判判決公判で、アルジャジーラ記者タイシル・アロウニィ氏に対して懲役７年の実刑判決が言い渡されたことに対する、抗議の記事を掲載しています。
アルジャジーラの総代表ワッダー・カアンファル氏は『この判決は極めて失望させられるものであり、我々はこれが不正だと考えている。そして我々はすぐに弁護団と接触を取り異議申し立ての可能性を研究する予定だ。』と発表しました。
またアラブ人権委員会のハイツァム・マンナ氏は『私は裁判長がアルーニにまさか２年以上の刑を科すだろうとは予想しなかった。これは単に彼に対する判決を出すように裁判長が圧力を受けていたためなのだ。』と語っています。（私に言わせると、このマンナ氏の発言は許しがたい。「２年未満の刑なら仕方が無い」とでも考えていたのか！）
この記事の中にもあるのですが、「有罪の証拠」は、アロウニィ氏（記事ではAlluni だが、発音はいずれにせよアルファベット綴りでは正確でない）がビン・ラディンを取材したこと自体ではありません。マンナ氏が「有罪の証拠は何か」と裁判官に問いただしたところ彼はマンナ氏に「証拠のＣＤを渡そう」と言ったそうですがもちろんまだその「証拠ＣＤ」は彼の手に届いていません。要するに、裁判で何一つ証拠を示されること無く！７年の懲役が決定されたのです！

"I did not expect the chief judge would dare to sentence Alluni to more than two years in jail, simply because he was forced to issue a sentence against him"

Aljazeera to appeal Alluni's conviction
Monday 26 September 2005, 16:30 Makka Time, 13:30 GMT
Pan-Arab satellite channel Aljazeera has said it will appeal after a Spanish judge sentenced its correspondent Taysir Alluni to seven years in prison for collaborating with al-Qaida.
"The verdict is very disappointing and we consider it unfair and we will contact immediately the legal defence team to study the possibilities of appealing it," Aljazeera general manager Waddah Khanfar said on Monday.
The channel said it was an unjust sentence and a dangerous and unprecedented action in the history of journalism.
"We still believe that our colleague Taysir is innocent of the charges against him," Khanfar added.
A Spanish court on Monday found Alluni guilty of collaboration with al-Qaida, sentencing the Syrian-born but naturalised Spaniard to seven years in jail.
Circumstantial evidence
Earlier, Aljazeera denounced the sentencing.
"This is a black day for the Spanish judiciary which has deviated from all the norms of international justice,"
Aljazeera news editor Ahmad al-Shaikh said.
It is a verdict that is based on circumstantial evidence at best. This verdict is a big shock for us. We are convinced of Taysir's innocence," he added from Madrid, where he attended the sentencing.
Al-Shaikh said Alluni's family would appeal against the verdict.
Qatar-based Aljazeera also said he should be released on bail for health reasons pending a hearing.
Alluni, who had insisted on his innocence throughout Europe's biggest al-Qaida trial, interviewed the group's leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan weeks after the 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States.
Political pressure
Spokesman for the Arab Human Rights Committee Haitham Manna told Aljazeera from Madrid that the Spanish chief judge had told human right observers that a sentence would be issued against Alluni
"However, I did not expect the chief judge would dare to sentence Alluni to more than two years in jail, simply because he was forced to issue a sentence against him," he said.
"He (the chief judge) was forced to fabricate a sentence to save the face of Spanish judicial and political police in this country," Manna said.
Manna added that he would meet the Spanish chief judge on Monday.
"I will tell him my opinion frankly. We will tell him we feel sorry he could not face the pressures imposed on him," Manna said.
The spokesman confirmed that heavy political pressures were imposed on the court to issue such a sentence.
"There is no single evidence that may lead to such a sentence," he said.
"When I asked the Spanish chief judge about bin Laden's interview, he told me he did not consider it an evidence against Taysir," he confirmed.
"Then, what is the new evidence? The chief judge said he would give me a CD of the evidence.
"I would delay our report to the international observers for a week in order to check the secret evidence the chief judge said he would give us," Manna added.
The allegation
Accused of acting as a financial courier to the group while in Afghanistan, Alluni, who had faced a maximum nine-year term, said in testimony he was only doing his job as a journalist.
First arrested in September 2003, Alluni was later released on bail on health grounds - he suffers from a weak heart and back problems - only to be arrested again and jailed in Madrid in November 2004.
He was released to house arrest in March, but taken back into custody on 16 September.
