ALBAWABA - Social media activists reported that the blogger known as "Umm Al-Lul" committed suicide in her cell while incarcerated in a women's jail in Baghdad.
Others claimed that the blogger managed to escape from custody and take his own life outside the facility under investigation.
A source for the Ministry of Justice in Iraq confirmed the falsehood of the allegations about the Iraqi blogger escaping from jail and committing suicide.
Ahmed Luaibi, the ministry's spokesman, told the local media, "Social media circulated news about the escape of the person named Hadeel Al-Samarrai, nicknamed Umm Al-Lul, from the prison where she is currently serving her sentence, and a second piece of news that she committed suicide inside the prison." "Umm Al-Lul" is an individual's nickname.
"We deny these circulating reports and confirm that she is in a women's prison and is in good health," Laibi said. "We are not aware of any other information." The released news is biased and lacks nuanced information.
On charges of publishing offensive information, authorities detained well-known Iraqi blogger "Umm Al-Lul" and sentenced him to four months in prison.
One of the traffickers acknowledged that he transferred narcotic drugs from Erbil to Baghdad while Umm Al-Lul was following him in the same automobile. This led to the accusation that Umm Al-Lul was involved in international drug trafficking.
She received a life sentence with hard labor due to the allegations of her involvement in drug trafficking. However, jurists assured that the Court of Cassation would overturn the verdict immediately upon evaluation.
