STORYLINE:
A thousand supporters of a radical Shiite Muslim cleric protested in the Iraqi capital on Sunday after the US-led coalition shut down a weekly newspaper run by the cleric”s followers, saying its articles were increasing the threat of violence against the coalition.
Dozens of US soldiers arrived at the offices of the weekly Al-Hawza newspaper on Sunday morning and closed its doors with chains and locks, Sheik Abdel-Hadi Darraja said in front of the one-story house.
Darraja is a representative of cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
A coalition letter in Arabic, signed by administrator L. Paul Bremer and handed to employees at the newspaper, said the paper”s articles “form a serious threat of violence against coalition forces and Iraqi citizens who cooperate with coalition authorities in rebuilding Iraq.”
The paper will close for 60 days, the statement said.
Hours after the closure, more than a thousand followers of al-Sadr demonstrated peacefully in front of Al-Hawza”s offices, saying the closure is a crackdown on freedom of expression.
Demonstrators continued in their hundreds late into the night under the scrutiny of security forces patrolling in armed vehicles.
On February 26, an article in Al-Hawza claimed that a suicide bombing two weeks earlier that targeted the mostly Shiite town of Iskandariyah, south of Baghdad, killing 53 people, was a rocket “fired by an (American) Apache helicopter and not a car bomb.”
In the same edition an article was titled “Bremer follows the steps of Saddam,” and criticised coalition work in Iraq.
Al-Sadr, who lives in the southern holy city of Najaf, is outspoken about the US-led occupation, but has not called for armed attacks.
