Hashimi’s trial to be resumed next Sunday

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Supreme Criminal Court will resume the trial of the judicially wanted Vice-President, Tariq al-Hashimi, next Sunday.

Judicial source stated to IraqiNews.com “The Court will resume the trial of Hashimi and his gaurds for charges related to terrorism on next Sunday.”

Earlier, Tajdeed Movement expected that “The judicial sentences will be issued against the judicially wanted Vice-President, Tariq al-Hashimi, on next Sunday.”

MP, Jamal al-Kilani, member of the Movement stated to IraqiNews.com “The court is expected to issue the judicial verdicts against Hashimi during the session of next Sunday.”

“This will negatively affect the political process,” he added.

“This will oblige the Iraqiya Slate to conduct political efforts to postpone this judicial decision or to cancel it because we think it is basically a political issue,” he concluded.

Hashimi’s case is one of the pending issues among the political blocs especially between the State of Law Coalition and the Iraqiya Slate.

INTERPOL issued an arrest warrant against Hashimi for being suspected in conducting terrorist crimes against civilians and officials in Iraq.
