Relatives of the Iraqi journalist detained after throwing his shoes at the shrub says he's in good shape and has been allowed to meet with his brother.
Muntadhar al-Zeidi has enjoyed widespread support around the world (even in the USA) since he hurled both his shoes at the shrub during a news conference last month.
But he has been denied access to his lawyer and requests from his family to visit him have been rebuffed.
His brother Dhargham al-Zeidi says another brother visited Muntadhar in his Green Zone detention cell Friday.
He says Muntadhar is being kept in a comfortable cell and guards even organized a party for his 30th birthday on Thursday.
Al-Zeidi's lawyer says he has only been allowed to meet with his client once.
