The Forensic Evidence Department organized a workshop on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, entitled “Crime Scene: The Silent Witness,” held at the Humanities Building – Hall 207, with the participation of a number of faculty members and students. The workshop aimed to emphasize the importance of proper crime scene handling in accordance with well-established and systematically structured scientific procedures, highlighting the necessity of adhering to precise professional protocols that have been previously practiced in order to preserve evidence and prevent contamination. The workshop featured a scientific lecture delivered by Assistant Lecturer Ali Hassan Kawa, who addressed the methodologies for managing crime scenes and the techniques used in searching for, collecting, and analyzing physical evidence. He explained that such evidence constitutes a “silent witness” that neither lies nor shows bias, and through its careful examination, the facts surrounding criminal cases can be uncovered and their complexities resolved with scientific accuracy. The workshop witnessed notable engagement from the students, who actively participated through discussions and inquiries, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of developing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of forensic evidence. The department reaffirmed its commitment to organizing such academic activities that contribute to enhancing students’ competencies and bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, thereby strengthening their ability to handle criminal cases based on sound scientific principles. This workshop is part of the department’s ongoing efforts to support the educational process and provide a comprehensive training environment aimed at preparing qualified professionals capable of serving society and upholding justice.
