The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed concerns Monday about the U.S. detention of a CTV journalist who had been working in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan.

The New York-based group said Jawed Ahmad, 22, also known as Jojo Yazemi, has been detained for almost three months by the U.S. military at Bagram Air Base near Kabul, the Afghan capital.

Ahmad said he's being held because the U.S. military believes he had contacts with local Taliban leaders and had a video of Taliban materials, his brother Siddique told the journalist committee, also known as CPJ. ...

"Since his disappearance in late October, CTV News has been deeply concerned about Jojo Yazemi's whereabouts and well being," Robert Hurst, president of CTV News, told the CPJ in an e-mail message included in the news release.

"CTV News has made inquires to NATO, Canadian, and U.S. military officials. No information has been forthcoming. CTV News has also made representations to the International Committee of the Red Cross and diplomatic channels including the Canadian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan."

Update

The U.S. military has charged Yazemi with being an unlawful enemy combatant, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
