Arrest warrant for KRG electoral commission members
An Iraqi court has issued a series of verdicts over the independence referendum held in Southern Kurdistan on September 25, in which people voted “Yes” with an overwhelming majority of 92 percent.
While the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court announced lack of authorization to revoke the membership of 10 Kurdish parliamentarians who had voted in the independence referendum, the Rusafa Investigation Court in Baghdad has issued an arrest warrant for the head and members of the KRG’s High Electoral and Referendum Commission who supervised the referendum of September 25.
The court based the decision on an official complaint by the National Security Council which denounced the “contradiction of the referendum to Iraqi federal laws”.
