Al-Karkh Court Issues Civil Ruling Against MP Alia Nassif Jassim

Al-Karkh Court has issued a civil ruling requiring Member of Parliament Alia Nassif Jassim to pay financial compensation to a legal consultant at the Ministry of Interior. The court found her civilly liable for damages to the plaintiff's reputation and social standing, resulting from statements she made in the media. These statements followed the plaintiff's lawful execution of a judicial order to arrest the MP's nephew in flagrante delicto. The court noted that this civil ruling follows a prior penal judgment regarding the same events, which granted the plaintiff the right to claim compensation for material and moral damages. The judiciary emphasized that this decision reinforces constitutional guarantees protecting public servants executing their official duties, and solidifies the principle of accountability for any abuse directed at law enforcement personnel.
