Between 07:20 and 07:25 on 9 August 2026, Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) posted six items on a protest by wounded Popular Mobilization Forces personnel outside Iraq's Public Retirement Authority, opening with its own correspondent and then carrying five quotations from the protesters. The protesters were quoted saying the Retirement Authority is the party delaying their entitlements, that hours of protest had brought no response, and demanding payment on the same basis as their peers in the Defence and Interior ministries. No other tracked actor's channel is observed in the collected material carrying the protest.
