An Iranian photojournalist working for the semi-official Fars news agency has been arrested by Iraqi police in the holy Shia city of Najaf, the ISNA students news agency said yesterday. "Hasan Qaedi, who wanted to cover Najaf developments, was arrested by Iraqi police on Thursday," ISNA quoted one of the Fars news agency's editors as saying. Iranian journalists have faced problems with the authorities in Iraq in the past weeks. Four Iranian reporters were arrested by Baghdad police on Aug. 9. They were released last week. |
