The representative of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in Karbala ‎stressed that the ‎phenomenon of suicide in Iraq indicates that there is a defect and corruption in the society ‎and in the institutions of the state and said, “The most terrible crime against the rights of ‎mankind is to deprive oneself of the right to life. We must protect the community against ‎these kinds of problems.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i ‎said, “Some assume that the solution to any life or psychological ‎crisis or for a student who failed a test or a man who hasn’t found employment is suicide. ‎This indicates an imbalance in society and in the institutions of the state.”‎

His Eminence said that one must be merciful to himself and added, “One of the symptoms ‎of mercilessness to the self is suicide.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Karbala’i ‎stressed the need to pay attention to building values and morals ‎for mankind and explained, “It’s important for politicians to be merciful and to place public ‎political interests over personal interests.”‎
