Moroccan journalists on solidarity visit to Iraq

A group of Moroccan journalists is paying a solidarity visit to Iraq where they will hand to colleagues at the Iraqi news agency "INA" a batch of computers and printers.

The trip is sponsored by the union of Moroccan journalists (SNPM) in a first initiative to support the Iraqi media.

The Moroccan journalists who will meet Iraqi colleagues will conduct investigations and write stories to be published in Morocco to denounce the "unfair embargo" enforced against Iraq and draw international attention to the plight of Iraqis.

Several Moroccan institutions have co-financed the equipment purchase and the trip fares.
