According to the report of the foreign news agency, the death of Tiba al-Ali at the hands of her father was confirmed by Saad Maan, the spokesman of the Iraq Ministry of Interior, who said that Tiba al-Ali was living in Turkey and had come to Iraq in those days.

The spokesperson stated that incident took place on January 31, and some recordings of the conversation between the father and daughter were recovered by the police, which shows that Ali’s father was not happy with her living alone in Türkiye.

Maan said that after the police’s initial encounter with the family, “We were surprised the next day with the news of her killing at the hands of her father, as he admitted in his initial confessions”.
