What is the truth about the death of Iraqi artist Saadia Al-Zaidi?
A Facebook account under the name (Zeinab Hadi Mohsen) published news stating: “My mother, the artist Saadia Al-Zaidi, has passed away.”
The truth:
The attached claim is incorrect, as the news about the death of the Iraqi artist (Saadia Al-Zaidi) is fake while she is still alive. We contacted the head of the Iraqi Artists Syndicate (JabbarJodi), and he confirmed to us that the news is false.
Regarding the account (Zainab Hadi Mohsen), which shared the claim, it is a fake account, and the one who runs it claims that it belongs to the artist’s daughter. However, note that the artist’s husband is the late writer (Ramadan Kateh) and not (Hadi Mohsen), as the fake account indicates.
The poet (Abdul Razzaq Al-Rubaie) also confirmed through his Facebook account that the artist has one daughter named (Shorouk).
Note that the news of the artist’s death has been circulated since 2017 without verifying by official sources to confirm its authenticity.
