This morning KH, KSS and Badr Organization outlets reported a confrontation at a medical-profession protest outside Iraq’s Health Ministry, attributing an assault to security forces. iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) and Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) added that news crews were barred from covering the demonstration after being beaten, with iNEWS naming Baghdad Operations and its own crew. Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) posted video whose visual review shows helmeted personnel with batons confronting a crowd; no channel attributed the action to a militia.

The same protest is the subject of KH and KSS coverage as both a security-force assault and a media ban, and of Badr Organization coverage as an assault only — a checkable split in what each network added.
