Recently, 29 activists from the students and faculty members of the University of Basrah received an intensive training course on the methods and mechanisms of combating hate speech in Basrah.
Mr. Ali Khalaf, deputy director of the National Center for Combating Hate Speeches, presented a training course that highlighted the best ways to be followed in observing, analyzing and dealing with hate speeches posed by the media, politicians, and clergymen of Iraq. In addition, he presented some practical practices on some examples of previous speeches, which include hatred messages, propagated by some media channels. This comes in preparation for observing hate speeches in the coming period within the work agenda of the National Center for Combating Hate Speech announced by MSMD mid-March in Beirut, with the participation of 17 leading religious, civil and media figures belonging to various religions and ethnicities of Iraq.
It is worth noting that this workshop is the third of its kind in Basra and the fifth in Iraq on the methods and mechanisms of observing, analyzing and dealing with hate speeches in Iraq.
