Babylon Movement  The Babylon Movement () is an ethnic Chaldean political party situated in Iraq. Founded in 2014, it is the political wing of the Babylon Brigade, a nominally Christian militia that was formed as part of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces. Rayan al-Kildani, an Iraqi Chaldean Christian with close ties to the Badr Organization, heads both the party and militia. On July 18, 2019, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Rayan based on charges of corruption and human rights abuses.
