Home policy Within the Framework of Legal Transparency: Iraq Closes File on Western Detainees with Handover

In a highly commendable move that perfectly reflects Iraq's complete, unyielding commitment to international legal standards and the absolute transparency of its sensitive investigations, national security authorities officially handed over both an American and a Finnish citizen directly to their

respective diplomatic missions in Baghdad on April 14, 2026. This definitive procedure came only after an exceptionally long, meticulous path of incredibly precise, highly rigorous investigations that successfully proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that their personal records were

completely devoid of any actual involvement in terrorist acts or any proven connection whatsoever to the highly dangerous, clandestine cells of the "ISIS" organization. This vital step is universally considered an incredibly important, powerfully reassuring message proudly sent by Iraq

directly to the watching international community, clearly stating that its core judicial and vital security institutions constantly enjoy the utmost professionalism and total, unquestionable independence, remaining entirely far away from any undue political pressures. Legal experts believe this puts an

end to malicious rumors.
