Supreme Council of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (SCIRI)
SAYED MOHAMMED BAQIR AL-HAKIM
Ayatollah Sayed Mohamad Baqir Al-Hakim, was born in 1939, is
the son of the late Grand Ayatollah Muhsin AI-Hakim (who was the
spiritual leader for the Shia in world in the period 1955-1970). Al-
Hakim family is a well known religious Iraqi family loved and
respected by millions of Shia Muslims in Iraq and throughout the
Muslim world. Since the age of 25 Sayed Al-Hakim, who was born,
brought up and studied religion in Najaf - Iraq (the holy city for
Shia in the world). He was distinguished scholar and personal
religious/political representative of the late Grand Ayatollah AI-
Hakim throughout Iraq.
Sayed Al-Hakim was a co-founder of the Islamic political
movement in Iraq established in the late fifties, along with the late
distinguished leader Ayatollah Sayed Mohammed Baqir Al-Sadr
and other scholars. Ever since Sayed Al-Hakim maintained close
association with Ayatollah Al-Sadr up to the martyrdom of
Ayatollah Al-Sadr in 1980. In 1972 Sayed Al-Hakim was arrested
and tortured by the Bathist regime. He was released after a wide
spread popular pressure on the regime. In 1977 he was re-arrested
following the people's uprising in Feb. 1977 in Najaf, and
immediately sentenced to life imprisonment by special court
without any trial. He was released in July 1979 following huge
public pressure on the regime.
Sayed Al-Hakim's association with Ayatollah Al-Sadr continued
after his release in 1979 when Ayatollah Al-Sadr was put under
house arrest. At this point Sayed Al-Hakim assumed responsibility
of conducting clandestine contact with Ayatollah Al-Sadr up to
April 1980 when Ayatollah Al-Sadr was murdered by Saddam's
regime. Sayed Al- Hakim decided then to leave Iraq in 1980 shortly
after the eruption of war between Iraq and Iran, Sayed Al-Hakim
played a prominent role in the deliberations leading to the
establishment of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Resistance in
Iraq (SCIRI) in November 1982.
Saddam's regime reacted violently to Sayed Al-Hakim's leading
political activity in SCIRI and arrested 125 members of his family
in 1983. Subsequently 18 members of his family were executed.
Despite this ordeal and the assassination of his brother Sayed
Mahdi Al-Hakim in Sudan Jan. 1988, Sayed Al-Hakim continued
his political activities against Saddam's regime. Beside his political
activities, Sayed Al-Hakim is a leading member of several Islamic
associations. He is also the author of many books on Islamic and
political thoughts.
