Al-Jazeera Demands For The Release Of Their Detained Correspondents

In March 2015, Nigerian military authorities detained two Al-Jazeera journalists, Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris and producer Ali Mustafa to their hotel room after they returned from covering a story on Boko Haram. According to a reported military statement, both men were questioned and restrained in their room because they were operating without “protection, accreditation or due clearance” – despite having just completed filming with the cooperation of the military.
