On July 25, 2018, poet and journalist Ahmad Abdulhusain faced harassment and was dismissed from his position as editor-in-chief at the Iraqi Media Network (IMN), a state-affiliated media institution, after refusing to sign a pledge agreeing not to criticize government officials. Abdulhusain rejected the demand on principle, asserting that such a pledge would constitute a clear violation of freedom of expression.
