His Excellency, the Struggling Leader, the Venerable Mr. Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, Respected
Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council
President of the Republic
Baghdad
Greetings and respect,
I raise to your Excellency and to the esteemed Revolutionary Command Council signs of veneration and loyalty, and I commend your care for the minorities
and communities that form an integral part of this people, and your great care in preserving the rights of citizens and safeguarding
their freedoms.
Mr. President,
Allow me to venture to return to raising the petition to look into the situation of our various Iraqi Jewish community,
that community for which you previously graciously abolished all exceptional laws that limit the freedom of its members
and curtail their civil rights, and by that you made them equal with all other citizens in this country in which they have lived safely
for more than two thousand years.
I present to your Excellency that the Ministry of Interior has issued, for more than a year, special instructions to refer all
financial transactions related to the members of our community to the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets for the purpose of ensuring
the person concerned retains Iraqi citizenship, despite the fact that the person involved in the transaction holds an identity card for retaining Iraqi citizenship.
The General Secretariat for Frozen Assets, in its turn, has begun to act in a way that blocks all
avenues of work for the Iraqi Jew and prevents him from being able to dispose of his money and affairs according to the law, even for the purpose of
managing his livelihood, as most members of our community have been unemployed for years. For example, but not limited to,
members of our community are not allowed to perform the following transactions and actions:-
1 - Conducting any sale transactions for immovable property, mortgaging them, and releasing mortgages.
2 - Selling company shares, receiving their prices, and disposing of timed bonds.
3 - Selling cars at the traffic police and transport departments.
4 - Conducting financial transactions at the Notary Public, appointing proxies, and the like.
The application of these instructions for more than a year has led to the freezing of the members of our community and the restriction of their actions
until it became difficult for some of them to manage their livelihood despite their ownership of immovable property, cars, and other things, and
