The punishment given to the murderous stepmother of children generated controversy

In June, it was revealed that a woman named Azra al-Cenabi in Baghdad caused the death of her 7-year-old stepson Musa, who she subjected to various tortures in her home.

The Anti-Crime Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior has released a video containing the confession of the stepmother, who caused the death of the child, to torture him.

In her interrogation, the stepmother said that she forced Musa to eat salt, tortured him with various noxious tools, and that the boy died as a result of days of torture at home.

Although these confessions generated great reactions in the country, especially on social networks, the court sentenced the woman in question to 15 years in prison. This court decision caused controversy in the country.

While the sentence was deemed insufficient, some social media users argued that Azra al-Cenabi should be executed. (AA)
