Onpassing an Al Jazeera news release about the arrest of Qais and Hameedullah Shah for those who may not have seen it.



Afghan Al Jazeera Producers Held


Doha, Qatar 15 June, 2009 - Two Al Jazeera employees have been detained in Afghanistan after being told by officials to report to the country's intelligence headquarters.
Concern for the welfare of Qais Azimy and Hameedullah Shah was growing on Monday, a day after they arrived at the official building in Kabul, the capital.
Azimy, a senior producer for Al Jazeera English, had travelled to the headquarters after being told to meet authorities for an interview, two days before campaigning for the country's presidential elections was due to begin. Shah, also a producer who works for the Al Jazeera Arabic television channel, was picked up from the network's bureau by two officers.

'Very concerned'

David Chater, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Kabul, said: "We have not heard a single piece of information about exactly what is happening.
"We don't know why they've been taken. We don't know what they've been charged with, if they've been charged at all. We don't know why they're being interrogated, if indeed they're being interrogated."
Al Anstey, Al Jazeeera English's director of news, said he was "very concerned" for the pair's welfare. "Qais is a committed and a dedicated journalist and a key member of our team in Afghanistan who has won a number of awards for his work for Al Jazeera in Afghanistan. Hamedullah Shah is also a dedicated professional journalist who has been working with Al Jazeera Arabic Channel since September 2008. Al Jazeera is officially requesting information from the Afghan authorities and calling for their immediate release."

'Information vacuum'

Chater said that the taxi driver who had taken Azimy to the headquarters was sent away from the building after waiting for him to return for about six hours. “We've repeatedly tried to find out exactly what happened," he said. "We've tried every single lever we know here ... we are in an information vacuum."
Chater said that Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, the UN and the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) had been contacted to see if they can provide any information on the situation, without success. "With the election [campaigning] starting here tomorrow, it is a very sensitive time."
Chater said the Afghan authorities may have been angered by a report made by Azimy showing him meeting Taliban fighters around the town of Kunduz in the north of the country, which was broadcast on Friday.

Both producers are Afghan nationals.

About Al Jazeera

Al Jazeera started out over twelve years ago as the first independent Arabic news channel in the world dedicated to providing comprehensive television news and live debate for the Arab world. In 2006, Al Jazeera was ranked by brandchannel.com as the most impactful television broadcast news brand globally. As a result of its expansion and the creation of new channels and services, Al Jazeera was formally named the Al Jazeera Network in March 2006, transforming its operation into an international media corporation. The Al Jazeera Network now consists of the flagship Al Jazeera Arabic channel, Al Jazeera English, Al Jazeera Documentary, Al Jazeera Sport, Al Jazeera.net (the English and Arabic web sites), the Al Jazeera Media Training and Development Center, the Al Jazeera Center for Studies, Al Jazeera Mubasher (Live), and Al Jazeera Mobile.

Cozy room to rent from mid July (14/15th) onwards.
Our house is a beautiful example of the old Afghan style wide bungalow which has all of its original features, one of the best gardens you'll see in Kabul and a very secure location just by the Dutch Embassy and UNICA.
We are outgoing, long term (currently 30yrs +_ between 3 of us) Kabulites, who do have the occasional well attended Western style parties, so don't apply if you're worried about that sort of thing.
The max number in the house is only 5 including yourself + 1 German Shepherd dog who is our overall security solution (we do not do guards, guns, concrete etc.)
$800 per month, payable 3 months in advance gets you in, and gives you a room (unfurnished, but can help if you're a newbie,)laundry, wireless IT and the use of either 1 of 2 bathrooms.
We need a nice person, who is cool with everything. If that's you, then let me know at kevin.avers@gmail.com
we'll meet and take it from there...

I'm looking for long-term housing in Kabul starting as soon as possible. I'd preferably like to live with just a couple of people or if not at least have my own bathroom. I'm female and not too fussy about who I live with as long as you're reasonably clean and relaxed. Please get in touch if you're looking for a housemate!
