ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1
ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1 NEA-PSHSS-14-001 Weekly Report 117–118 — November 1-15, 2016 Michael D. Danti, Allison Cuneo, Susan Penacho, Marina Gabriel, Kyra Kaercher, Jamie O’Connell, Richard Zettler, Ali Jabuuri Executive Summary During the reporting period, heavy weaponry and bombardment resulted in significant damage to cultural sites in Syria. In Aleppo Governorate, mortar fire from Opposition Forces damaged a mosque in Aleppo and a mortar shell damaged the Maronite Diocese Office in Damascus. Aerial bombardment resulted in damage to places of worship in Rif Dimashq, Aleppo, Hama, and Idlib Governorates. Despite significant losses of territory as Iraqi forces have marched toward Mosul, ISIL continues to engage in the intentional destruction of heritage places, resulting in significant losses. The Latin Church in Mosul, also known colloquially as the Clock Tower Church, was demolished by militants during the reporting period. Additionally, the Ziggurat at the archaeological site of Nimrud, the ancient Assyrian capital of Kalhu, was completely leveled, with destruction beginning at some point between September 31 and October 2, 2016 and continuing until October 16. The liberation of areas east and south of the city by the Mosul Operation has revealed new evidence of damage to cultural sites that occurred earlier during the ISIL occupation of Ninawa Governorate. These regions are home to predominantly Christian populations, and much of the related news media and open source coverage has focused on damaged places of worship and civilian property. Reports so far have covered damage to multiple sites in the towns of Batnaya, Bakhdida (Qaraqosh), Karamlish, and Bartella. -
Iraq 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
IRAQ 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution establishes Islam as the official religion and states no law may be enacted contradicting the “established provisions of Islam.” The constitution guarantees freedom of religious belief and practice for Muslims, Christians, Yezidis, and Sabean-Mandeans, but not for followers of other religions or atheists. The law prohibits the practice of the Baha’i Faith and the Wahhabi branch of Sunni Islam. The constitution also provides for freedom from religious coercion and requires the government to maintain the sanctity of religious sites. Institutional and societal restrictions on freedom of religion as well as violence against minority groups remained widespread, according to religious leaders and representatives of nongovernmental organizations (NGO) focused on religious freedom. NGO leaders said the government continued to use the antiterrorism law as a pretext for detaining individuals without due process. Community leaders continued to state forced conversion was the de facto outcome of the national identity card law mandating children with only one Muslim parent, even children born as a result of rape, be listed as Muslim. Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) security forces closed some roads between the Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR) and areas subject to territorial disputes between the KRG and the country’s central government for much of the year, impeding the movement of Yezidis between Dohuk Province and the Sinjar area. Most roads were reopened by year’s end. Yezidis, Christian leaders, and NGOs reported harassment and abuses by the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a state-sponsored organization composed of more than 40 mostly Shia militias, which also includes Sunni and other minority units originally formed to combat ISIS. -

FROM SURVIVING to THRIVING Visit to the Christian Churches of Iraq
FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING Visit to the Christian Churches of Iraq, July 30th - August 2nd, 2018 This was a follow up visit to the one made in July 2017 - From Darkness to Light http://icin.org.uk/wp-content/ uploads/2017/08/Iraq-ICIN-2017_DRAFT_170822.pdf soon after the liberation of Mosul and the Nineveh Plain from the destructive occupation of Da’esh. Then, the focus was on the immediate reconstruction of homes, churches, schools, and infrastructure of the communities (Christian and Yezidi) which had been devastated by the three-year occupation of Da’esh. Now, one year on, huge progress has been made in restoring the physical infrastructure of the community - but still, much remains to be done. The focus is now changing from immediate repair and reconstruction to providing a stable means of livelihood - employment, income generation, and education at all levels, so that the Christian community will not only have a continuing meaningful existence in Iraq/KRG, but also will thrive and prosper as they continue to contribute to the healthy mosaic of community life which has always been Iraq at its best. The Christian leadership in Iraq are determined to provide the framework for Christians to proper in their historic homeland and not be forced to flee into exile. In this visit, I was representing ICIN http://icin.org.uk/ and AECA https://www.aeca. org.uk/, and accompanied by Christopher Segar (former British Ambassador in Iraq) representing frrme https://frrme. org/, William Salomon, representing St John, Notting Hill,www.stjohnsnottinghill.com and Denny Chan Hong Kong-based British architect and photographer,http://www.dennychankl.com .
