Sami Haj is the Al Jazeera cameraman who was held without charge in Guantanamo bay prison for 6 years. He was released to Khartoum a few weeks ago without any charges or apology.

Sami Al Haj, will return to Doha on board a private jet sent to receive him in Khartoum. The Al Jazeera Network has prepared for his arrival mass celebrations, first at the airport to celebrate his return at 6pm, then at the Al Jazeera Channel Building later that evening at 8pm.

Upon arrival Sami will be met by Senior Officials of the Al Jazeera Network spearheaded by Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani, Chairman of the Board of Directors. This reception will be followed by a public reception at the airport park outside Doha International Airport at 6pm, where Sami will address the crowds gathered to greet him.

His motorcade will then travel down the corniche to the Al Jazeera Channel Compound, where a reception has been organized for Sami, attended by Al Jazeera Staff and their families as well as important leaders in Qatar.

Molae said keep up the good work, Qatar! ...

After Qatar's enormous efforts in the reconciliation of the parties of Lebanon, Qatar is highly appreciated for the welcoming that has been arranged for Al-Jazeera's hero Sami Al-Haj.
This brave jounalist has been cowardly abducted by the American terrorist government, in Guantanamo, for 6 years. There were absolutely no charges directed to him.

Glory to Qatar!
Shame on America!
Shame on the UN to act so weak in front of powerful countries!
