Al Hawza
Al Hawza or al Hauza was an Arabic language weekly newspaper in Iraq.[1]
History and profile
[edit | edit source]Al Hawza started publication in 2003[1] after the removal of Saddam Hussein, and American media considered it to be the mouthpiece for Shi'ite cleric Moqtada Sadr.[2] It was a weekly newspaper published every Thursday.[2][3] The paper was a religious cultural publication.[1] Its chairman was Abbas Al Rubayi.[1] Hasan Al Zarkani served as the editor.[1] Ali Yasseri was the editor of the paper when it was suspended.[4]
It was shut down by the 759th Military Police Battalion, under orders of the United States-led administration of Paul Bremer on 28 March 2004, after being accused of encouraging violence against Coalition troops.[3][5][6] The closure of the weekly was protested by hundreds of Iraqis in Baghdad shortly after the ban.[4][7]
