Al-Karkh Court has issued a civil ruling compelling an Iraqi Member of Parliament to pay financial compensation to a legal counselor at the Ministry of Interior. The verdict was based on established civil liability for damages caused by media statements
that harmed the plaintiff's reputation and professional standing, following his lawful execution of a judicial arrest warrant against one of her relatives. This ruling follows a previous criminal judgment that granted the plaintiff the right to claim material and moral
compensation. The court emphasized that this decision reflects the judiciary's role as a constitutional safeguard to protect public servants performing their duties and reinforces the principle of accountability.
