What is the truth of the document that talks about suing Mohammed Ridha al-Sistani?
A document was circulated on social media signed by a lawyer named (Aqeel Jasim Bidn al-Bdery) suing Mohammed Ridha al-Sistani at al-Karkh court, in the trace of a video claiming that the latter is wearing a mask of his father, Sayed Ali al-Sistani
The Truth
The circulated document is fake. When we searched for the lawyer's name in the lawyers' database, which is published on the official website of the Iraqi Bar Association, we didn't find such a name.
Also, the Supreme Judicial Council denied in an official statement published on Friday Sep. 29, 2023 the circulated document, clarifying that:
"There is no such a judge named (Mahmood Hasan al-Khafaji) in al-Karkh court, plus, the stamp and terms are incorrect"
Noting that the video that the document is talking about is fake too. Tech4Peace team denied it last Monday, Sep. 26, 2023.
