A STATEMENT BY “SAWTUHA” NETWORK FOR HUMAN RIGHTS DENFENDERS ON THE DENIAL OF MOTHER’S RIGHT OF NURSERY AND THE SUSPENSION OF THE CASE AGAINST THE GROUP OF ABOLITION OF SUBJ. 57 OF THE PERSONAL STATUS LAW FOR THEIR CRIMES OF THREATS, DEFAMATION AND INSULTING WOMEN

“SOWTUHA” NETWORK HAS FOLLOWED UP THE NEWS ABOUT SOME PEOPLE CALLED THEM SELVES

(CANCELLATION OF THE SUBJECT  57 OF PERSONAL STATUES LOW GROUP), THEY DEMAND FOR MODIFYING THE NURSERY LOW IN IRAQ IN ORDER TO PREVENT MOTHERS FROM THEIR LEGALLY, CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHT OF HER CHILD NURSERY TILL HE GET HIS LEGAL AGE (15 YEARS).  ACCORDING TO THEIR ALLEGATION THAT BASED  ” AS THEY SAID”  ON THE ISLAMIC LOW WHICH COMES IN HOLLY QURA’AN THAT NURSERY PERIOD SHOULD BE LONG FOR ONLY TOW YEAR (BREAST FEEDING PERIOD).IT’S OBVIOUS FOR EVERYONE THAT THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEEDING AND NURSERY. BASED ON THE EVIDENCE THAT WE COLLECT FROM THEIR SPEECHES,THE ONLY THING THAT THEY FOCUS ON IS THE MONEY THAT FATHER SHOULD PAY FOR HIS CHILD WHO WILL STAY WITH HIS MOTHER IN NURSERY PERIOD. EVERY BODY KNOWS THE VIOLENCE THAT THE CHILD WILL EXAMINE FROM HIS STEPMOTHER IF HE STAY WITH HIS FATHER AND THIS WAS OBVIOUS THROUGH THE MEDIA PROGRAMS AND REPORTS. IRAQ HAS APPROVED ON CHILD RIGHTS AGREEMENT SINCE 1993 AND PUT THE CHILD BENEFIT THE FIRST THING THROUGH THE PERSONAL STATUES LOW 188/1959 DECIDED IN SUBJECT 57 THAT THE NURSERY GOES TO THE MOTHER AND THE FATHER HAS THE RIGHT TO SEE HIS CHILD AND STAY WITH HIM FOR A WHILE THAT BOTH OF HIS PARENTS DECIDE ABOUT AND APPROVE IT IN THE COURT TO MAKE IT LEGALLY.

IN ADDITION, THE ISLAMIC LOW JUDGED BY THE NURSERY FOR THE MOTHER BECAUSE THE GOD DEFIANTLY KNOWS THAT THE MOTHER KNOW HOW TO TREAT HER CHILD AND TAKE CARE OF HIM PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY AND SHE IS MORE PATIENT THAN THE FATHER. THOSE MEN BEHAVIOR IS ABNORMAL; THEY THREAT WOMEN WHICH SHOULD MAKE EVERYBODY BELIEVE IT IS NOT SAFE TO LEAVE A CHILD WITH THEM.

WE AS IRAQI WOMEN HAVE SUFFERED FROM VIOLENCE, INSULTING, TERRORISM AND PSYCHOLOGICAL , PHYSICAL DAMAGES, SO, WE STRONGLY ASK THE MEDIA INSTITUTIONS NOT GO AFTER THOSE MEN AND NOT TO PRODUCE ANY PROGRAM FOR THEM IN ORDER NOT TO LET THEM SPREAD THEIR POISON’S THOUGHTS.

BECAUSE WE ARE SURE AND HAVE MANY EVIDENCES ABOUT THEIR THREATS AND OFFENCE WE  WILL CLAIM ON THEM FOR THEIR CRIME (430-436 PENALTIES IRAQI LOW NO. 111/1969) EVEN TERROR CRIMES (SUBJ. 1,2,4 ANTI TERRORISM LOW NO.13/2005) AND WE WILL AK FOR COMPENSATION TO THE WOMEN THAT SUFFER FROM PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL DAMAGES.
