A friend of mine forwarded me today , a copy of an email apparently mass distributed by - The REPORT PRESS - Special Reports Media - USA- Chief Editor: Journalist SYED ADEEB.
The body of the text reads as follows:
Pakistani-American Journalist Nayyar Zaidi Still Locked Up in an Ohio Jail Since 20 March 2008.
(ReportPress.com) - Mr. Syed Haider K. Zaidi (pen name: Nayyar Zaidi)- Washington Correspondent or Washington Bureau Chief of Pakistan's Geo News TV (Geo Television Network), The News International (English newspaper) and Daily Jang (Urdu newspaper) - was arrested by the U.S.Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Police on Thursday, 20 March 2008 in Ohio, USA, on sex crimes charges. He is still locked up in an Ohio jail since March 2008.
Read the following five American media-press news reports about Pakistani-American journalist NayyarZaidi who lives in Woodbridge, Virginia, USA:
Publisher: THE INDEPENDENT - Massillon, Ohio, USA

More links to Zaidi story are embedded in the said email. Some of them are:

http://www.cantonrep.com/index.php?ID=404447
All these links contain story related to Mr Zaidi and his arrest in Ohio in March 2008.
It is therefore clear that Mr Zaidi was not detained for any "national security" or "terrorism related" charges as some may have thought, perceived or believed to be, but was actually detained and arrested by local (Ohio) police and the FBI's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force on charges of attempted unlawful sex with a minor,attempted child endangering, attempted illegal use of a minor innudity-oriented material or performance and importuning.
I am still waiting for a synopsis from Mr Zaidi who promised me to send when he called me up last week. The documents that he had sent me through his wife did not cover the above episode nor did Mr Zaidi mention it to me at all. These documents were apparently on "non related" matters.
That is why I was careful not to jump to any conclusions. And, when Mr Khalid Hasan of Daily Times requested for details, I sent him the following email:
Based on documents in my possession, he has been apparently detained under "National Security" matter(s) and has been charged with one or more than one offense/crime. His docuents do not clarify this matter. (Bold emphasis by me.)
The Federal case number is 08-CR-0197. Mr. Zaidi is a defendant in the said case. Mr Zaidi promised to send me a synopsis. I still await. Will let you know more details if and when I get them. The matter is subjudice before a Federal Judge. (Bold emphasis by me).

Well i beleive this is an American secret agencies design agiants zaidi.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Mr. Clinton , who had number of times oral with Lewinsky and still having a good name in US socierty - yes but one thing that
Lewinsky was not a teen ager.
well we are waiting for Zaidis synopsis.
Just the fact his family tried to hide Nayyar's detention, is an evidence in itself that "terrorism" or "obstruction of justice" were not the correct accusations against him
ReplyDeleteI do believe the sexual allegiances agains mr. zaidi to be true, due to his past behaviors. In particular, he was fired from Voice of America Urdu Service for sexual harassment, and quietly let go, because he settled out of court.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't surprise me to see him in this situation. The man isn't too bright nor cleaver, and clearly his actions speak louder than words.
Just a followup, as in any company or organization, if someone is accused of sexual harassment, it is not a public matter, rather, it's kept very private in order not spread curiosity or suspicion in the company, thus, it's not know to all co workers. Especially in a government capacity. But the employment records of an individual in the government are not sealed thus the evidence is there. That's the fact and it can be verified quite easily if someone wanted to check.
ReplyDeleteMr.Zaidi's arrest shows that howmuch media is free in the USA.It is lipservicing which ammerican statemen play off.Otherwise,none is free in the US to convey the impartial reports/comments to the US masses.
ReplyDeleteIt is very said state of affairs that a man of wisdom,a man of letter is behind bars without any proven guilty.His arrestment made crystal clear that nobody is safe in america if unveils the criminal activities of american government.
