Ittihad ash-Sha'ab (Arabic: اتحاد الشعب, 'Unity of the People') was an Arabic-language daily newspaper published from Baghdad, Iraq.
[1] Abd al-Qadir Isma'il al-Bustani was the editor-in-chief of the paper[1] which had a circulation of 15,000.
[1] During 1960, Ittihad ash-Sha'ab and other publications of the mainstream Communist Party were targeted by the Abd al-Karim Qasim government.
[1] From June 1960, distribution of Ittihad ash-Sha'ab was restricted in half of Iraq (including major cities) through security restrictions and harassment by police forces.
Abd al-Jabbar Wahbi, another member of the Ittihad ash-Sha'ab editorial board, was placed under house arrest in Ramadi.
