Iraqi society was saddened and outraged following the spread of a disturbing video on social media, revealing a tragic situation of a twenty-year-old young man who was imprisoned by his family due to his mental illness.
The incident began with the entrance of community policemen in Iraq to a house with the aim of liberating the young man, who was confined in iron chains placed by his family.
The young man appeared to be suffering under difficult conditions, wearing dirty clothes with his beard and mustache grown long, indicating the mistreatment he had endured. Comments on the video suggest that the young man’s family had imprisoned and restrained him with iron chains inside a room due to his unstable mental condition, as he appeared completely unbalanced.
Despite the absence of an official statement from Iraqi authorities regarding the incident, the video suggests that it took place in the city of Najaf.
The video has sparked widespread condemnation and anger on social media, with many users calling for the young man to be transferred to a healthcare facility for medical attention. Others have urged the need for an official investigation and the punishment of the family for their neglectful care of the mentally ill young man.
