dijlahpoint - The Iraqi Council for Rights and Freedoms warned against the dangers of enacting the Information Technology Crimes draft law, considering it a threat to freedom of expression and a confiscation of public liberties. The council emphasized that ignoring objections from civil society represents a legislative deviation. Reasons for rejection included constitutional violations, the use of vague terminology, excessive custodial sentences, and a strictly security-driven approach to the digital space. The council demanded the immediate withdrawal of the draft and its redrafting with the participation of specialists to protect digital rights.
