Iraqi authorities on Monday released journalist Salem al-Sheikh on bail of one million Iraqi dinars (around $770) after he was detained for criticizing services provided following the purchase of Jetour vehicles, a Chinese automobile brand.
A source familiar with the case told Shafaq News that al-Sheikh had been summoned on Sunday to a police station in Baghdad’s Al-Rusafa district over a report in which he criticized the company’s customer service and after-sales support.
