In a move that is considered a
reciprocal one, Iraq has placed a ban on US citizens entering the country.
This follows an initial executive
order signed by President Donald Trump placing a temporary ban on seven
Muslim-dominant countries with Iraq being one of them.
According to Daily Mail, Iraqi
politicians on Monday, January 30 banned US citizens from entering their
country.
Kamil al-Ghrairi and Mohammed
Saadoun who are Iraqi politicians said the decision which was made at the
parliament was binding.
Although no specific numbers were
given, they said this decision was made by majority of the politicians.
How the ban will be affected is not
known yet as American military personnel, non-government and aid workers, oil
companies and American business people are in Iraq.
Ishaq Jahangiri who is the senior
vice president in Iraq described the ban illegal and against human right.
We will definitely take stance
against this illegal, inhumane and anti-human-rights activity in international
bodies.
'And once again (we) will review and
explore American human rights in international bodies in order to let the world
to know what a system they are facing.'
