Shafaq reports a September 19 instruction and publishes September 21 interviews with media representatives and a lawmaker. Their assessments differ on its effect on information access; no actual reduction in access is established. The underlying directive and precise legal scope were not independently inspected. This record dates the new reporting, not enactment. The rounded Baghdad marker represents the national policy debate.
