VOICED: Banning booze in Iraq's south

The video discusses a new law in Basra, Iraq, banning the import, sale, and public consumption of alcohol, primarily affecting the Christian minority. The ban has led to criticism for punishing legitimate businesses and forcing alcohol sales underground. Historically, Basra had a significant Christian population, which has dwindled due to migration. Critics argue the government should prioritize fighting illegal drugs over alcohol. The ban has doubled alcohol prices and affected local social life.
