After a recent anti-government protest, which resulted in the death of five Iraqi soldiers, the Iraqi government has suspended the operations of 10 television channels, including Al Jazeera. This suspension does not only include their broadcasts, but the abilities of their staff to move around the country. The reason given for this suspension is that these channels were broadcasting violent and sectarian rhetoric. The full list of the channels suspended is: Baghdad, Al Sharqiyah, Al Sharqiyah News, Babylonian, Salah al-Din, Anwar 2, al Tagheer, Fallujah, Al Jazeera, and Al Gharbiyah.
