Yesterday, the body of the former Iraqi member of parliament Ahmed al-Alwani (57 years old) was found murdered inside a residential apartment in the Tarek al-Jadida area of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, while the authorities launched an investigation to uncover the circumstances of the crime.
The official Lebanese news agency reported that the public prosecutor at the Haftar court, Ahmed Rami al-Haj, supervises the investigations conducted by the information division of the internal security forces. Iraq's ambassador to Lebanon, Mohammad Reda al-Husseini, also confirmed that the embassy is following up on the case with the Lebanese security services, awaiting the results of the investigations, without revealing details about the circumstances of the crime or its perpetrators.
Al-Alwani is a former member of parliament for Anbar Governorate in western Iraq. He rose to prominence during the 2012 and 2013 protests against the government of Nouri al-Malki, before his arrest in December 2013 following an attack on his home in the city of Ramadi. He was released in April 2025 under a general amnesty, after spending more than 11 years in prison.
