demanded that the Iraqi branch of UNISCO office should be transferred  from Amman to Baghdad.

Ibrahim Al-Sarraj,the director of Iraqi journalists rights defense association, demanded that the Iraqi branch of UNISCO office should be transferred  from Amman to Baghdad. Ibrahim Al-Sarraj the director of Iraqi journalists rights defense association demanded the Iraqi ministry of foreign affairs and the concerned parties and the international organizations with the need to speed up the process of making the suitable legal measures to transfer the Iraqi branch of the UNISCO office from Amman the capital of Jordan to Baghdad since the mentioned office is not dealing with the relevant cases such as freedom of press and education and other files which the organization is specialized with. Al-Sarraj also confirmed the fact that the Iraqi office is actually in the capital of Jordan is a deliberate neglect by the organization and shows how unserious it is at working with the official parties. Most of the employees in Amman are from foreign and english nationalities and don’t actually care about the circumstances in Iraq specially the file of violations against journalists in Iraq. Al-Sarraj confirmed that there are 90 employees working in the mentioned office and gaining more that 3 million dollars a month. They didn’t contribute in offering any support for Iraq in the fields which The UNISCO is specialized with despite the facilities provided by the Iraqi government. It is worth mentioning that  the financial and administrative manager in The UNISCO office in Iraq which is originally from Tunisia with french nationality did not visit Iraq at all although she’s been manager of finance for more than five years and she has a financial and administrative staff from other nationalities which also never visited Iraq. Ibrahim Al-Sarraj also confirmed the Iraqi journalists rights defense association within a week will establish a campaign to collect signatures in all provinces of Iraq to demand the transfer of the Iraqi branch of UNISCO office from Amman to Baghdad.
