Tahsin al-Hamidawi

Tahsin al-Hamidawi is a prominent figure within the Iraqi Shiite political landscape, known for his leadership role in the Saraya al-Salam, a militia associated with the influential cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Recently, al-Hamidawi was in the news due to a directive from Muqtada al-Sadr, which ordered the freezing of Saraya al-Salam's operations and the closure of their offices in the provinces of Basra and Wasit for six months, amid concerns over misconduct and reputational damage to the group.
