| 2022-03-30 |
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) decided to demolish its headquarters in Baghdad. Photos obtained by Shafaq News Agency showed excavators demolished the building of the KDP 5th branch in the Karrada area in central Baghdad. Yesterday, the KDP closed its headquarters in Baghdad and suspended its work in protest against setting fire and destroying its properties. The KDP's 5th branch in Baghdad said, "We affirm that the Kurdistan Democratic Party is a long party in Iraq with a long and honorable history of struggle alongside the Iraqi national parties, and it was and still plays a leading role in consolidating freedom, democracy and the political process in Iraq." "KDP cannot accept these outlaw offending, insults, and chaotic behavior." "Since the headquarters of our party was attacked for the second time without taking the necessary protection measures by the security services, we have decided to close it." "We reiterate our condemnation and denunciation of any offending of religious references, and at the same time, we condemn and denounce the attack on our headquarters." "We call Iraqi national political forces to condemn these acts that are far from morals, values, and humanitarian principles." On Monday, The Kurdish Ministry of Interior announced arresting Nayef Kurdistani after sharing a tweet they considered "offensive" to the Iraqi Supreme Religious Authority. Before the arrest, angry demonstrators destroyed and broke fire into the Kurdistan Democratic Party's headquarters in Baghdad. |
