The Irish woman's husband who has been imprisoned in Iraq for over 1,000 days is a man named Sean O'Brien. He was arrested in May 2017 while working as an engineer in Baghdad. According to the Irish government, he was wrongfully detained and there are concerns about his health and well-being.
O'Brien has been held in the notorious Abu Nuwas prison in Baghdad, which is known for its poor conditions and mistreatment of prisoners. He has been denied access to legal representation and has been subjected to solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, and other forms of torture.
The Irish government has been working tirelessly to secure his release, but the Iraqi authorities have not provided any information on his case. There are also concerns about the safety of Irish citizens in Iraq, as the country is still plagued by violence and instability.
O'Brien's wife, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals against her family, has been campaigning for his release through various social media platforms and petitions. She has also reached out to Irish politicians and diplomats, urging them to take action in securing her husband's freedom.
Despite the challenges, there is hope that O'Brien will be released soon. The Irish government has stated that it will continue to work closely with international partners to secure his release and bring him home safely.
