ANNOUNCEMENT

For the educational guidance unit and psychological guidance at the College of Administration and Economics.
Insult or cursing, according to the Iraqi Penal Code of 1969, as amended in Article 434, means blaming another in a way that offends his honor or reputation or hurts his feelings, and if it does not include attribution of a specific incident, the penalty is imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine or one of these two penalties. If the insult occurs publicly by means of the media, it’s considered an aggravating circumstance that requires raising the penalty ceiling.
