The Iraqi authorities arrested a person who incited the gathering in front of the Syrian embassy – the seventh day

On Friday, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior announced the arrest of a defendant of inciting a gathering in front of the Syrian embassy in Baghdad.

The Ministry of the Interior said in a statement: “According to accurate intelligence information, and based on judicial approvals, intelligence and combating terrorist terrorism detachments at the Intelligence and Federal Investigation Agency in the Ministry of Interior managed to arrest a defendant who incited the gathering in front of the Syrian embassy in the Mansour area in Baghdad and raised riots there.”

In its statement, the ministry added: “The (accused) took the necessary legal measures to complete his investigative and legal papers to bring him to justice to obtain his just penalty.”

The Ministry of Interior warned against “trying to raise sedition or trying to attack the guests of Iraq of various nationalities,” stressing that “the specialized devices and departments will deal firmly against all those who begged themselves to tamper with security.”

This call to gather came at a time when the Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al -Shaibani arrived on Friday to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on an official visit during which he met his Iraqi counterpart, Fouad Hussein, Prime Minister Muhammad Shi’a Al -Sudani, and government officials.

Hussein stressed in a press conference with Al -Shaibani that the immediate threats of the Syrian and Iraqi society are common, noting that cooperation must be internationally to eliminate the terrorist organization “ISIS”.

For his part, the Syrian Foreign Minister stated by saying: “We visit Baghdad as part of our efforts to confirm the unity of the class between Iraq and Syria and our country is serious in strengthening our ties … Syria and Iraq should stand together to prevent any interference in their internal affairs,” stressing that “Syria is serious in strengthening ties with Iraq.”

During the Sudanese and Al -Shaibani meeting, it was emphasized on the clear and fixed position of Iraq in respecting the options of the Syrian people, with all its components and spectrums, and keenness on the security and stability of Syria, which is reflected in the security and stability of the region, and in this regard it was emphasized the importance of the continuation of political and security consultations between the two countries.

This is the first visit of Al -Shaibani to Iraq after it was postponed last February.

It is worth noting that the Syrian Foreign Ministry had recently condemned what Syrian citizens in Iraq were subjected to, against the backdrop of a persistent group on them in the capital, Baghdad, while the Iraqi authorities announced the formation of a security team to pursue the aggressors, as a video clip showing the exposure of Syrian workers to violence by a masked group attributed to a faction called itself “formations of Ali Al -Shaabiya”.

A video clip published by Iraqi accounts showed a group of masked men who enter into shops in which Syrian workers were asked, asking them their phones and identification identities, and an attack on each other appeared in the clip.
