Dismissal of an employee of the Iraqi Ministry of Culture after participating in the Erbil normalization meeting.
Iraqi Minister of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities Hassan Nazem announced yesterday that Sahar Karim al-Taie, a female employee of the Iraqi Ministry of Culture, had attended a meeting to normalize relations with the Zionist regime in Erbil last Friday, according to Mawazin News. He was removed from office and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
A statement from the Iraqi Ministry of Culture stated that Hassan Nazim had decided to expel Sahar Karim al-Taie, who had attended the Erbil conference to promote normalization of relations with Israel and had committed acts contrary to Iraqi law and political orientation.
According to the statement, an investigative committee was set up to investigate the Iraqi Ministry of Culture employee’s participation in a conference on reconciliation with the occupying regime in Erbil.
The Iraqi Minister of Culture emphasized that we were not aware of the action of this employee, who was introduced in the international and domestic media as the director general of our ministry; While being the general manager is against the reality.
A statement from the Iraqi Ministry of Culture also stated that “we oppose the normalization of relations with Israel and that any employee who attends the Erbil Normalization Conference will be prosecuted in accordance with existing law and instructions.”
Following the arrest warrant issued by the Iraqi judiciary against a number of nomadic and political figures who attended a meeting to normalize relations with the Zionist regime in Erbil, the Iraqi judiciary referred to the death penalty as a punishment for any connection with the Zionist regime.
On Sunday, September 26, the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council, in accordance with Article 201 of the Iraqi Penal Code, ordered the arrest of several Iraqi and political figures, including a woman, in Anbar province for their participation in a normalization conference with the occupying regime in Erbil.
According to Article 201 of the Iraqi Penal Code, anyone who advocates normalization with Israel in any way will be sentenced to death, and this article alone is sufficient to convict those present at the Erbil Normalization Summit and sentence them to death.
The conference was met with a huge wave of official and popular condemnation, and the Iraqi central government condemned it.
