Hassan Haj

Hassan Haj is a prominent member of the 'Committee for Organizing Popular Movements' in Iraq, a group that has been actively involved in advocating for the rights of Iraqi citizens detained in Saudi Arabia. Recently, he has been in the news for his role in planning protests outside the Saudi embassy in Baghdad to demand the release of Iraqi detainees, who are believed to have been arrested for their political or religious activities during pilgrimage events. Haj has emphasized the lack of progress from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry in securing the detainees' freedom and has vowed to continue protests until their release is achieved.
