Sulaymaniyah

Kurdish religious figure in Iraqi Kurdistan, born in 1969: a Salafi preacher, imam of the Behesht (Bahasht) Mosque in Sulaymaniyah and, until July 2026, a lecturer at the College of Islamic Sciences, University of Sulaimani. He holds two doctorates in Islamic law, studied under the Yemeni scholar Muqbil al-Wadi'i, and in 2013 founded Amozhgari TV, a Kurdish-language religious television channel. In June 2026, leaked audio recordings and text messages circulated on Kurdish social media allegedly capturing him sexually harassing female university students; after a University of Sulaimani investigation, the Kurdistan Regional Government's Ministry of Higher Education permanently dismissed him from his academic post on 1 July 2026, stripping his pension rights. He denies the allegations, saying the recordings were fabricated using artificial intelligence, and said he would appeal the decision; no criminal conviction is reported in any source read.
