On 26 September, Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) and iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) carried Akram al-Kaabi’s call for Iraqis, Husseini service groups, processions and visitors to Imam al-Ridha to prepare for sit-ins at Iraqi airports until the decision he called unjust was overturned. Kaabi, Nujaba’s secretary-general, had made the call on 25 September; Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned, non-official) carried it that day, and Shafaq News also reported it. The later posts establish further circulation of the call, not a newly announced protest or a report that sit-ins have begun.

Badr Organization-owned media is now carrying a call for action at airports alongside its coverage of political objections to the flight restrictions. The call concerns a sit-in; it does not instruct participants to commit violence.
