On the anniversary of martyrdom, we must be sincere students of the broad humanitarian approach that he brought to us in joining hands, and by everyone, I mean all sects of the Iraqi people (people and government), taking the tear of martyrdom as an example for building the nation and creating a prosperous future according to the principles of science, knowledge and culture, carrying the torch of life.
