Baghdad: The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, has issued instructions prohibiting the exploitation of the name “Al-Sadr” in commercial and social dealings without his direct permission.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the directive aims to prevent unauthorized individuals from using the name “Al-Sadr” for commercial gain or social influence. This move is seen as an effort to maintain the integrity and reputation of the Sadrist movement and its leader.

Muqtada al-Sadr’s decision underscores the importance of protecting the use of his name to prevent potential misuse in various sectors. The Sadrist movement, known for its significant influence in Iraq, seeks to ensure that its name is not used without proper authorization, which could potentially lead to misrepresentation or damage to the movement’s image.
