Iraqi Christian members of parliament (MP) are urging fellow lawmakers to investigate the “illegal” sale of churches across the country, Breitbart News learned Monday.
It is unclear whether individuals, local governments, or federal agencies are selling the properties, MP Emmanuel Khoshaba Youkhanna told Breitbart News, noting that the exact number of churches and other public Christian properties sold is unknown.
“Nobody can know the number of churches and other properties that have been sold. We seek to stop the sale of church property. This is one of our duties as members of the parliament and representatives of our [Christian] Chaldo-Assyrian Syriac peoples,” he said.
“I can not say who exactly is benefiting without a formal investigation. We are serious in our quest to ensure anyone behind the sale of Christian public property is held responsible,” the lawmaker added, stressing that “It’s not personal property to sell.”
Citing Christian MP Joseph Slewa, Bas News noted on Monday that Iraqi laws prohibit the sale of church-owned properties or properties owned by the Iraqi government’s Office of Christian and Other Religions Endowments.
