The Dean of the Institute of Laser at University of Baghdad, Prof. Dr. Kadhim A. Adem, accompanied by the Assistant Dean, Lecturer Dr. Saif A. Mohammed, and a group of professors and staff of the Institute, participated in a peaceful protest stand held in Iraqi universities, rejecting the decision to ban the hijab in educational institutions in Atherbaijan.
This participation came based on the decision of the Opinion Board in the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and the directives of the President of University of Baghdad, Prof. Dr. Alaa Abdul Hassan Attia, in confirmation of the rejecting stance towards any measures that limit students’ freedom to practice their religious rituals and express their cultural identity.
The participation emphasized the importance of academic and humanitarian solidarity in defending fundamental rights and freedoms, and consolidating the principles of respect for religious and cultural diversity within educational institutions, in line with university values based on tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and respect for human dignity.
This stand comes as an expression of the university family’s position supporting freedom of belief and commitment to humanitarian principles that guarantee rights and freedoms for all.
