The MP Yasser Al-Husseini called for the Iraqi ambassador to Tehran to be summoned to Iraq and investigated.

Al-Husseini said in a press statement today, Wednesday, ‘We received information that the Iraqi ambassador to Tehran took arbitrary measures against employees at the embassy, preventing them from wearing black during the holy month of Muharram, and threatening violators by giving them compulsory leave.’

Al-Husseini called on the Foreign Ministry to inquire from the Iraqi ambassador to Tehran, and to make the ambassador understand that the Baath Party has become banned, and its repressive policies overthrew it, stressing that ‘no ambassador has the right to prevent employees from wearing black on this sad occasion guaranteed by the Constitution and the law.’
