CAIRO,(SANA)- Arab Journalists Union Tuesday called the United Nation to press US occupation forces and the Iraqi government to offer more protection to journalists and face acts of killings and kidnappings in Iraq.
In a statement issued in Cairo, Secretariat General of the Arab Journalists Union demanded the international organization to activate its resolutions in order to condemn the killing of journalists, stressing the necessity of taking decisive security procedures by the Iraqi government in this regard.
The statement noted that Iraq turned into a trap for journalists since the US invasion in 2003 where the number of journalists who were killed since that time reached at 215 journalists.
