The competent judicial authorities in Baghdad issued a civil ruling requiring MP Alia Nassif to pay financial compensation to a legal advisor at the Ministry of Interior. The ruling was handed down after it was proven that the plaintiff was

harmed and defamed while performing his official duties. In its reasoning, the court emphasized that the execution of official duties enjoys full legal protection and should not be used as a pretext for targeting or abuse. This decision reaffirms the

judiciary's commitment to protecting state institutions and their employees, consolidating the principles of the rule of law and civil liability.
