The Iraqi journalist who shot to fame for hurling his shoes at former US president George W. Bush was jailed for three years on Thursday, stirring outrage from his family and supporters. Muntazar al-Zaidi’s mother, "There is no justice, that's all I can say. There is no justice." Uday al-Zaidi, brother of convicted journalist, "Iraq's legal system is neither independent nor impartial, and those who think it is independent and impartial are wrong. This is not an independent court. The verdict was decided by Bush. The three-year sentence is unfair. This political court had already decided on its verdict.”
