Professor Muhammad Taqa, Prominent Dean of Baghdad College of Economical Sciences arrested
What prominent Iraqi academics are still going through after nine years of occupation - May 2012
Dr. Taqa is a well-known Professor of Economy in Iraq. He is the dean of Baghdad College for Economical Sciences since 1996. He published about 50 research reports and 6 books on International Economy and Globalization.
As a responsible educator he kept his college students attending classes during the Arabic Month of Muharam, while other colleges and university students and faculty members went out in Sectarian Marathons in the streets, weeping and crying the death of prophet Mohammad’s grandson, Al Hussein 1400 years ago!! As ordered by high education minister Ali Al-deeb.
As an expert, Prof Taqa was invited to the Iraqi Parliament cessions. He criticized the Maliky government’s economic policies and the authoritarian government of Iraq. A good reason to be arrested for.
During the American occupation of Iraq, well-trained professors, often graduates of highly qualified American or European universities, were replaced by pro-occupation young freshly graduated faculty members. This policy is pursued with grimness by the current puppet government. Educide is still going on.
