BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The
Department of Refusal to amend the Iraqi citizenship law has expanded with a big controversy over the position of the law, which some have found to be a major demographic change, while others have defended it as a rejection of the past.
The Parliament had ended last Monday the first reading of the draft law of the first amendment to the law of nationality submitted by the Security and Defense and Legal Committees without a decision, in view of the emergence of problems and obstacles in the practical application of the provisions of the Iraqi Nationality Law No. 26 of 2006.
After the parliamentary session Monday, the popular and parliamentary votes, Members of the House of Representatives and political parties and parliamentary committees, ending with public anger and warnings of the repercussions of these amendments.
Activists and observers on social networking sites considered the amendment to the law a violation of Iraq's sovereignty and a threat to its demography and destruction of society, amid calls for an end to these attempts, while others have defended it.
Iraqi media spokesman Fayrouz Hatem said, "Is there really anyone who does not know who he is?" Do you really know that the regime of Saddam, who was buried by an unjust decision of his dissolved council, No. 666 in 1980, revoked the nationality of half a million Iraqi Kurds and displaced them (Forced) to Iran ?? Why this booing and contempt for this (the affected segment) of the policies of the Chauvinist regime?
MP Mohammed Iqbal al-Sidli was one of the most prominent opponents of the amendments.
Iqbal said in a statement issued by his press office that the paragraphs included in the amendment of the law facilitated the granting of Iraqi citizenship away from the points made by the Iraqi legislator over the past years to maintain its position, likely to result in significant demographic changes due to grants, .
He pointed out that the law guarantees the granting of citizenship to a person born in Iraq, even if the parent is not Iraqi, with reference to granting broad powers to the Minister of the Interior to grant citizenship other than the controls approved by Iraqi customs, stressing that most of the large stable countries do not grant nationality to immigrants legally Only after years of statement of direction and the adequacy of information about it.
The head of the national parliamentary bloc Ammar Tohma, which sparked controversy, last Monday, on the law that "the draft amendment of the Nationality Law included gaps lead to a demographic change, and opens the space and the opportunity to grant unknown persons Iraqi nationality."
For his part, a member of the Committee on Security and Defense parliamentary Adnan al-Asadi that the proposal to grant citizenship to foreigners who spent one year in Iraq, "full of bombs,"
Al-Asadi told a news conference in the House of Representatives today that "the draft amendment of the Iraqi citizenship law came at the end of the previous parliamentary session and we can not legislate , And three days ago read a first reading and created a noisy atmosphere among the Iraqi people.
The veteran politician Hassan al-Alawi accused the Iraqi authorities of trying to pass a law that would legalize visitors to the holy sites if they were only one year in the country, considering that this was similar to what Saddam Hussein did when granting citizenship to Palestinian Arabs in order to increase the number of Sunnis at the expense of Iraqi Shiites.
"Anyone who has prepared, supported and approved the Iraqi citizenship law is not an Iraqi who is an agent, a thief and a mercenary. He has agreed to grant citizenship to foreigners," Al-Alawi said in a videotape released Thursday. "In what countries does a foreigner stay for one year and get citizenship? "?
He added that the goal of the law is to naturalize visitors to the holy shrines who stay for one year in Iraq, saying that "with this law and within two years will fill Baghdad with 3 - 4 million foreigners and use the word" Khuda "instead of the word" Allah "," referring to the Iranians.
He called on the Iraqis to stand against the federal government in this law, saying: "They want to follow the example of Saddam Hussein and the sectarian reason of the sex of the Palestinians to increase the proportion of Sunnis to the Shiites in Iraq."
For its part, the Directorate of Civil Status, Passports and Residence of the Ministry of Interior, on Thursday, clarification on some legal provisions for the granting of Iraqi nationality, after it left a wide controversy and criticism of some of these paragraphs.
Where the Directorate confirmed that "an exception was added to the forcibly displaced during the previous regime, and they have transactions in the Directorate of Nationality was not completed because of their deportation and a large number of them was registered in the records of 1957.
She added that after 2003 issued a decision of the Council of Ministers to lift the signal of freezing their restrictions and obtained the identities of civil status and were unable to obtain the certificate of Iraqi citizenship, because of the lack of modern residence for ten years.
The Directorate continued that, for the purpose of redressing this limited group, this exception had been established and had a residence of not less than one year.
