An Iraqi student who put a picture of Saddam Hussein on her graduation cap was dismissed. Today, Thursday, March 7, 2024, an Iraqi university decided to expel one of its students due to the circulation of a video.

The student was referred for investigation for committing a “legal prohibition” according to the Iraqi constitution. At the time, the incident sparked mixed reactions between supporters and opponents, reaching the point where parliamentary blocs demanded former PM Adel Abdul Mahdi to take measures against the university and its students.
