Kurdish Academy Condemns Ban on Kurdish Language in Higher Education in the Kurdistani Areas Outside the Region

On 16 July, the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education issued Decision No. 6496, which bans the use of the Kurdish language in higher education institutions located in the Kurdistani Areas Outside the Kurdistan Region. We condemn this decision and regard it as a racist, unconstitutional, and unlawful act. We call for the immediate revocation of this discriminatory decision and demand a formal apology from the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education to the Kurdish people.
