Alitijah Satellite Channel correspondent, Ali Mutteir was injured during covering the battles of liberating Mosul University from ISIS. Mutteir suffered from a bomb fragment that rested in his chest, in spite of wearing a chest armor; the fact that eliminated his injury to the extent of reaching a stable health condition in a relatively short time.
At the time that Press Freedom Advocacy Association in Iraq wishes Mutteir a soon healing and fast recovery, it emphasizes constantly on the importance that all media bodies considers the safety of its staff as a high priority issue and that no involvement in covering front line operations should take place without proper training.
