In previous decisions have raised the CMC Iraqi ire of journalists and the media, local and international observers, through the practice of methods of pressure outside the framework of legitimacy, and it, rather than the organization of broadcasting services, has become undermine the efforts of freedom of expression and aims in its actions and decisions to intimidate journalists and the media different, which faced decisions and the threat of closure and the imposition of an unprecedented financial graphics, which led to a growing fear of the political role played by the government agencies to calculate and away from broadcast systems and laws in force in this direction.

Document circulated by the Ministry of Interior troops deployed in Baghdad on 8 May of this year, after 5 days of celebrations of the global press freedom, varied in areas that prevent the work of media institutions, domestic and foreign, while informed the Commission and the Interior Ministry that it had suspended work permit each of the Al Baghdadi and Al-Diyar and Al Babylonian and radio tow.

According to the document, channels and other media outlets said about the body it is licensed and has asked the Interior to take legal action against them.

The Telecommunications Authority and the Iraqi media started to apply a new regulation issued by the previous parliamentary elections, such as the pretext to silence media outlets that promote sectarian violence.

The regulation stipulates that the media "to refrain from broadcasting any content that incites violence or sectarianism", without providing clear guidelines on what covered by the definition of violence and sectarianism.

The regulation stipulates that all broadcast media outlets and journalists to seek authorization from the Commission before working in Iraq, but do not provide sufficient information about the criteria used by the Government during the granting of permits. Regulation gives the Commission authority to close or freeze or fine or confiscation of equipment on the minor infractions that are committed for the first time the terms of the license to operate.

And imposed the Telecommunications Authority, large sums of money last year on media organizations operating in the country, wages for the use of spectrum, ranging in the amount of money imposed in only the top, among the billion and 600 million Iraqi dinars, equivalent to a million and a half U.S. dollars, while the amount is at least is 180 thousand U.S. dollars.

He called JFO Communications Commission to resort to the Iraqi justice rather than relying on to their own regulations that are inconsistent with the articles of the constitution which guaranteed freedom of the press, and invites them to rely a new law regulates the relationship with the media instead of the law enacted by a civil administrator Paul Bremer, and calls JFO Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to stop those orders being one of the appointed officials of the Communications and Information Agency.
