Iraq: Clashes, Press Ban in Najaf Boost Civilian Risk
Iraqi National Conference Has Not Yet Begun Mediation Efforts

"
(Baghdad, August 17, 2004) – The resumption of armed clashes
in Najaf and efforts by Iraq’s interim government to
restrict journalists from working in the southern Iraqi city
raise serious concerns about the risk of harm to civilians,
Human Rights Watch said today.

The August 13 ceasefire between the Iraqi interim government
and allied U.S. forces on one side, and the militia of Shi`a
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on the other, collapsed barely 48
hours later when clashes resumed on Sunday.

Also on Sunday, Iraqi police ordered all journalists to
leave the city by midnight, threatening to arrest those who
did not comply and seize their equipment. Police reportedly
surrounded the Sea Hotel in Najaf, where journalists were
staying, and many journalists reportedly left. If the media
ban is enforced, coverage from Najaf would be limited to
journalists embedded with U.S. military contingents.
