Ash-Shabibah
Ash-Shabibah (Arabic: الشبيبة, 'The Youth') was a communist daily newspaper published from Mosul, Iraq. The paper was closed down by the authorities in October 1960 as part of a government clamp-down on the communist press. As of December 1960 there were reports that the editor of ash-Shabibah, Lt. Colonel , was facing trial for having defended (in an article in ash-Shabibah) the persons convicted by a military court for the Kirkuk events.[1]
