The Central Committee for Compensating Victims in the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced, on Wednesday, that the subcommittees in Saladin Governorate distributed two sets of compensation instruments to 1,766 victims of “terrorism” in Saladin Governorate.
The committee’s media spokesman, Ahmed Al-Taie, said in a statement issued, “The subcommittees distributed compensation instruments to 1,766 victims of terrorism in Salah al-Din Governorate,” noting that “the amount distributed is four billion and 750 million dinars within the first and second phases.”
Al-Taie explained that “the compensation included 1,766 affected people, including the families of the martyrs and the injured, and citizens whose property was damaged,” noting that “the aforementioned amounts were distributed among 1,466 affected people, including the families of the martyrs and the injured, and 300 citizens whose property was damaged.”
He pointed out that “there is a new batch of checks that will be distributed during the next few days in a celebration that will be organized by Salah al-Din Governorate in coordination with the subcommittees in the governorate, in the presence of a delegation from the Central Committee for Compensation of the Victims, to supervise the process of distributing the checks to the families of victims of terrorism.”
It is noteworthy that, in 2009, the Council of Ministers issued Law No. 20 to compensate those affected by military operations, military mistakes, and terrorist operations. The law stipulated that those killed in these operations be compensated with three million and 750 thousand dinars, and that they be included in a retirement salary and a residential plot of land, while the wounded are compensated according to the degree of disability to which they were exposed.
On the basis of the 2009 law in Iraq, it applies both individually and as a result of its operations and its systemic errors and actions of the government.
