Social media activists circulated news about the mighty Iraqi artist Saadoun Al-Jaber’s infection with the emerging corona virus, his deterioration and his condition on the ventilator.
However, the Iraqi Artists Association denied this completely, and issued a statement posted on its official page through “Facebook” in which it said: “There is no truth to the rumors that the artist Saadoun Jaber was infected with the Corona virus.”
The statement emphasized that the captain of the Iraqi artists, Jabbar Judy, had contacted the artist, Saadoun Jaber, who is 70 years old, to be reassured, and it was revealed that the source of the rumor is fake websites that exploit people’s emotions, destroy their spirits and spread terror among their ranks.
The Iraqi Artists Syndicate confirmed that there will be a deterrent response to everyone who causes the spread of these rumors, and the owners of these pages will be verified and prosecuted.
“Judy” added: “At a time when we must join hands to spread the spirit of positivity and reassurance in the hearts of the injured to save them psychologically from the disease, a number of people without taste and morals of citizenship dare to spread false and terrifying news.”
