Jawed Ahmad

Jawed Ahmad (1986 – March 10, 2009) also known as "Jojo" was an Afghan reporter working for Canadian media outlet CTV who was arrested by American troops and declared an enemy combatant, while working with NATO at Kandahar Airport on October 26, 2007.

Ahmad was then held in military custody at the detention facility at the United States Air Base in Bagram, Afghanistan for 11 months without access to a lawyer. As a result of advocacy by his friends and family, and a habeas corpus petition [https://web.archive.org/web/20090105223228/http://www.ijnetwork.org/documents/Jawed_Ahmad_Habeas_Petition_Stamped.pdf] filed by the International Justice Network, Jojo was released on September 21, 2008 after almost a year of being held in U.S. custody.
