'The decision was taken because of Mr Bahr al-Ulum's objections to the early introduction of higher petrol prices,' the official said.

Seems like you still can't speak your mind without removal from office in some countries, but if this was during Saddams regime this guy would be
dead. Protesting the increases in domestic price should be rewarded, not chastised, so it seems that Democracy has truly entered Iraq and our job is
