An Iraqi butcher has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for selling pork as beef in the holy city of Najaf. The butcher was found with 75 kg of pork and was charged under a 1998 law that criminalizes the sale of meat unfit for human consumption. Although Islam forbids pork, Iraqi law does not explicitly ban its sale. The incident sparked public outrage and drew attention to food safety issues.
