Iraq’s Communications and Media Commission on Sunday warned Al-Jazeera English over a March 26 report on the Al-Habbaniyah camp attack, citing violations of accuracy and misinformation rules.
The regulator explained that the report risked misleading public opinion and ordered its removal or a formal correction, cautioning that repeated breaches could lead to suspension of the outlet.
Earlier, it imposed disciplinary measures on media figures, including a 90-day ban on Hussam Al-Taie, a 30-day ban on Nizar Haidar, and a warning to Ahmed Abdul Sada, and also warned Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath over a separate report.
