Seven militia networks relay Nimrud-treasure conviction in identical wording

WHAT HAPPENED

Between 08:57 and 09:29 this morning, ten posts across AAH, KH, Nujaba, KSS, Badr Organization, Ashab al-Kahf and Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina media carried the Federal Commission of Integrity's announcement of a six-year prison sentence for former deputy culture minister Sarbest Omar Hassan for harming public funds, over violations in contracting a Danish company to display the Nimrud treasure in European museums. Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) and Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) posted first within thirteen seconds of each other; iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) and Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) were the only carriers to print the convicted official's name. No carrier attached commentary, a demand, or a political target to the ruling.
