Spanish photojournalist calls parents from Libya jail

A Spanish photojournalist detained by forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has telephoned his parents from a military prison in Tripoli.

According to the BBC News, Manu Brabo’s father, Manuel Varela, told TVE his son had said he was being fed and was “in fairly good shape”.

Brabo was one of four journalists who went missing on 5 April while reporting from the outskirts of Brega.

The others were James Foley and Clare Morgana Gillis, both Americans, and Anton Hammerl, a South African.

On Thursday, Gillis called her parents in Connecticut. She told them she was being held with Brabo and Foley, but said Hammerl had not been with them when they were detained.
