[size=52]Parliamentary signature campaign to legislate a law banning the promotion of "homosexuality"[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad / Hussein Hatem[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Saturday, a number of members of the House of Representatives submitted a bill to ban propaganda and publication of homosexuality in the country, as the bill submitted to the Presidency of the House bore the signatures of 25 deputies.[/size]
[size=45]And this comes at a time when the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, launched a million campaign, “a campaign to collect millions of signatures against the “lesbian community” or what they are called (homosexuals).[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr called for confronting homosexuality with “education, awareness, logic and ethical methods” and “not with violence, killing or threats,” according to his tweet.[/size]
[size=45]The campaign includes collecting signatures and pledges against homosexuality and demanding that it not be legalized at all.[/size]
[size=45]Bushra al-Obeidi, a professor of criminal law, says: “It is not necessary to legislate a law to prohibit homosexuality in Iraq, because there is a criminalization of it in the Iraqi Penal Code, Article 393, entitled crimes of rape and sodomy.”[/size]
[size=45]And she continued, “It was better for the parliament to amend Article 41 of the Iraqi constitution, which allows homosexuality in Iraq regarding personal status, which says that Iraqis are free to abide by their personal status, each according to his religion, sect, and belief. With regard to choice, anyone can say this is my choice according to my personal status, meaning that he says that my life is my life.” The family is with a person like me according to the constitution, and amending this article is better than enacting a law.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Obeidi added: “We, as an eastern Iraqi society, and the Islamic religion does not accept this issue, and therefore there is no disagreement with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the disagreement occurs when the reaction towards homosexuals is violent and they become the victims,” noting that “homosexuals are few in number and we have not reached the stage of the phenomenon.” distance".[/size]
[size=45]And she stressed, “the need to know the problem of homosexuals,” adding, “Iraqi society treats problems with a top-down treatment, not a radical treatment. A moral problem, as correction and guidance exist, and as for going to a violent response, it is not a way to solve it.[/size]
[size=45]In turn, the former member of the Human Rights Commission, Ali al-Bayati, says that he does not “agree with calling this group a society, or isolating them with a discriminatory title, because they are human beings, whether we agree with them or disagree with them.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bayati added: “From the legal side, homosexuals cannot be punished unless it is proven that they violate the laws, and if there are differences and disagreements within society, then they must be regulated through laws issued by the people’s representatives, as it is not possible to impose judgments or penalties without laws.”[/size]
[size=45]For his part, legal affairs specialist Ali al-Tamimi explained the penalty for same-sex marriage in Iraqi law, saying that “Article 393 of it punishes the death penalty for these crimes, as well as Law 8 of 1988 punishing prostitution crimes with imprisonment.”[/size]
[size=45]And he continued, “Law 234 of 2001 punished adultery, sodomy, and brokering with death, also Articles 215 and 220 punished with imprisonment and a fine for defaming the country’s reputation with such crimes, and also Article 376 of the same law punished with 7 years imprisonment for void contracts in marriage contracts, and also Articles 401 and so on. After that, and what is related to the accidental indecent assault.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Tamimi added, “Article 3 of the Personal Status Law established the conditions for a valid contract, and such crimes violate that.” He pointed out that “raising gay flags above the flags of the embassies of countries in Iraq violates Articles 9, 10, 11 and 41 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and Iraq has the right to object to them and request their removal.”[/size]
