The Arabic-language magazine al-Hurriya ( Arabic الحرية, DMG al-Ḥurrīya 'Freedom') was published in Baghdad in 1924 and 1925 . A year was published with a total of ten issues. Its editor was the Christian Rafa'il Butti (1901-1956), an Iraqi intellectual and well-known journalist. The content focus is on political and literary topics of the Arab world of the time. In 1930 Butti published another magazine, al-Bilad. This supported the National Brotherhood Party, which formed the opposition to British influence. It was the first daily newspaper of the time and became one of the leading press organs in Iraq. Butti's support for the opposition through his publications eventually led to the magazine's complete discontinuation.
