Reporters Without Borders protested today at the arrest of Agence France-Presse (AFP) photographer Patrick Baz and a Reuters cameraman while they were covering the aftermath of a 19 October attack on a US army ammunition convoy in Fallujah (50 km west of Baghdad). Iraqi police said they had been ordered by US officials to detain the pair.
"Obstruction of journalists trying to do their job in Iraq is on the rise and must stop," said secretary-general Robert Ménard. "The number of attacks on press freedom there are becoming alarming."
Reporters Without Borders said on 25 September that it was deeply concerned about the threatening and repressive attitude of the country's Governing Council, which two days earlier had issued guidelines for the behaviour of the media.
