” Ala\nal-Shammari and TV cameraman Taher Salem were on a journalistic mission to picture\nthe reality demonstrations in Najaf province, and were beaten by riot police,\nwhich led to their transfer to Najaf General Hospital, as well as the\nconfiscation of their press equipment,” said Mukhalad al-Dulaimi, a\ncolleague of the Press Freedom Advocacy Association in Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Association,\nwishing for the safety of the two colleagues, strongly condemns the continuing\nseries of violations against journalists by the security services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
