List of killed, threatened or kidnapped Iraqi academics
In January 2006, the BRussels Tribunal launched an appeal claiming that a systematic campaign exists to liquidate academics in Iraq. The appeal quoted Robert Fisk who had reported on the "war on learning" and expressed the opinion of Iraqi academics that Iraq's intellectual heritage was being destroyed as part of the continuing foreign occupation of Iraq. This page is a list of killed, threatened or kidnapped Iraqi academics starting from the 2003 invasion of Iraq and continuing through 2006. Al-Jazeera journalist Ahmed Janabi claimed that "1000 leading Iraqi professionals and intellectuals" were assassinated between April 2003 and March 2004. Reactions to the assassination of pan-Arabism professor and prominent human rights and democracy campaigner Abdul-Latif Ali al-Mayah supported the claim that a systematic campaign to assassinate Iraqi academics and intellectuals existed since the invasion of Iraq. Al-Mayah had called for elections in 1996 in opposition to Saddam Hussein, for which he was imprisoned, and in January 2004, opposed the US plan to choose a government by a caucus method. One of Al-Mayah's students, Salam Rais, stated that al-Mayah's assassination was "part of a plan in this country, targeting any intellectual in this country, any free voice."[1]
List
[edit]List order: Deciding on which name is a "surname" may be ambiguous, since many people in Iraqi culture do not have a naming tradition compatible with the modern western tradition of having patrinomial/matrinomial family names, hence the quotes around "surname". The prefix al or al- is ignored for the alphabetical ordering here.
