iNEWS highlights assaults on medical graduate protesters

WHAT HAPPENED

On 16 August 2026 iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) said it was covering medical-profession graduates’ demonstrations for appointments and that protesters faced assaults and beatings, then aired a graduate representative after the day’s assault and a package stating that forty demonstrations were mostly repression and assaults. Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) separately relayed Hussein al-Darraji (Hoquq — KH) calling the forced dispersal of a peaceful demonstration a catastrophe. No press report in the collected window independently recorded the scale of the demonstrations or the alleged beatings.
