The incident, which took place on January 31, has created outrage in the country since it came into the public domain and spread on social media. Iraq’s Interior Minister’s spokesman Saad Maan gave information on Twitter last Friday on this incident of honor killing.
Saad said Tiba al-Ali, 22, was killed by her father on January 31 in the southern province of Diwaniya. He has told that the police had tried to settle the dispute between father and daughter. But there was no success. Now the news of the murder has come to the fore.
Who was Tiba al-Ali?
Tiba al-Ali was a resident of Iraq and lived in Turkey for many years. Recently she had returned to Iraq. He is a YouTuber and has a lot of followers on YouTube. She used to record and upload video blogs on her YouTube channel. In these videos, she was often seen with her fiancé.
There were differences between Ali and his father regarding living outside the country. The police had also tried to solve it. Tiba had recently returned to Iraq from Turkey. Based on the recording of the conversation between Tiba and her father, it has been told that the father had a problem with her being alone in Turkey. He did not want the daughter to live abroad. Tiba didn’t want that.

Brother had sexually abused
It is being told that Tiba was sexually assaulted by her brother. In such a situation, she did not want to stay at home. Iraqi human rights activist Hana Edwar told AFP that according to a voice recording of the girl, “she left her family because she was sexually assaulted by her brother”.
A police source has told in a conversation with the news agency AFP that the family problem was going on between them since 2015. Tiba went on a trip to Turkey with her family in 2017, but after that she refused to return from Turkey. She had started living in Turkey since then.
