Askari describes Hashimi’s cases as Over

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP, Sami al-Askari, of the State of Law Coalition ruled out discussing the case of the fugitive Vice-President, Tariq al-Hashimi, in the upcoming political dialogues.

Speaking to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com), he said ” Hashimi’s case is no longer a part of the political dialogue because it is a settled judicial case where no one discusses it even the parliament did not comment over it.”

“All the sides are convinced now that Hashimi’s case is over and there is no benefit to discuss it in any activity, especially the political dialogues,” he concluded.

Earlier, The Iraqi Supreme Criminal Court issued a death penalty verdict in absentia against the fugitive Vice President, Tariq al-Hashimi, and his Office’s Director, Ahmed Qahtan, for being involved in murdering the lawyer Suhad al-Ubaidi and the national security officer Talib Balasim and his wife.
