Intelligence affiliated with the Nineveh Counter-Terrorism Directorate arrested journalist Ziad Al-Sanjari in Mosul, a month after his return from outside Iraq.
A source in the Nineveh Police told the National Iraqi News Agency (NINA) that, ‘Intelligence arrested journalist Ziyad Al-Sanjari on the left side of the city of Mosul after intercepting his personal vehicle and taking him to the intelligence headquarters to investigate him on charges of impersonation,’ without mentioning the nature of this identity.
The source added, “The judiciary decided to arrest Al-Sanjari on this charge to complete the investigation.”
Al-Sanjari had been residing outside Iraq since the fall of Mosul, specifically in Austria, and returned to Mosul more than a month ago.
