MP calls to prevent implementing 200 death sentences next Wednesday

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The leader within the Iraqiya Slate called “The Presidency and the Ministry of Justice to prevent implementing the death sentences against 200 convicts on next Wednesday.”

He stated to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com) “While parliament is working on endorsing the General Amnesty Law on next Thursday, the Ministry of Justice is preparing to implement the death sentences issued against more than 200 persons on next Wednesday in a way that arouse doubts over the aims behind it.”

“It is obvious that these sentences have sectarian aims behind them because they are implemented against one sect,” he added.

“The situation in the detention facilities and persons are tragic where the detainees are abused and there rights as human are violated which goes against the Iraqi constitution,” he stressed.

“Implementing these sentences resembles a tragic point in the Iraqi political history,” he mentioned.

“The tolerance will be reflected positively on the security situation and proves the peaceful method of the government,” he concluded.
