A Libyan group led by the daughter of Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi has decided to give a bravery award to the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at US President George Bush.
"Wa Atassimou group has taken the decision to give Muntazer al-Zaidi the courage award ... because what he did represents a victory for human rights across the world," the charity group, headed by Aicha Gaddafi, said in a statement.
The group also urged the Iraqi government to release the reporter, who was detained on Sunday after throwing his shoes at the US President and calling him a 'dog' during Bush's joint press conference with Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
In Arab culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of disdain.
