There is no guarantee of controlling the situation

Hezbollah newspaper: The Sadrist escalation requires a corresponding step from the framework

2022.08.24 - 16:14

 

Baghdad - people  

Al-Akhbar newspaper, which is close to the Lebanese Hezbollah, said, on Wednesday, that the accusation brought by the "Sadrist" protesters against the judiciary, which is bias towards the other party, is refuted by the fact that the targeted institution itself has confirmed the "Sadr movement's" gains in the elections.  

  

  

  

The newspaper stated, in a report it followed, "Nass" (August 24, 2022), that without the judiciary, he would not have been able to say that the popular "Sadr" representation is superior to the representation of his opponents in the "coordinating framework."  

  

She added, "The indignant reaction that was met by the Sadrist movement, even by their former allies in Parliament, prompted the movement in the evening to direct its partisans to withdraw from the headquarters of the Supreme Judiciary."  

  

The newspaper stated that the disruption of the judiciary "opens the door to uncontrollable matters on the street." Thus, "Al-Sadr put himself on one side, and all the other forces that want to reach a settlement of the conflict on the other side," according to the report.  

  

The newspaper attributed the reason for the escalation to the fact that "Al-Sadr has tried to use the street in several ways during the past few weeks, but he has not achieved any gain that can be translated into politics, especially after the masses of the coordination framework, in turn, went to the demonstration squares."  

  

She pointed out that although the two streets have remained calm so far because of their leadership's keenness to avoid sliding into Shiite-Shiite fighting, "nothing guarantees that things will remain under control."  

  

And she continued, "In light of the fact that both sides have armed factions, in addition to the recent escalation by al-Sadr's supporters, it may require a corresponding step from the coordination, as happened after the Sadrists stormed the parliament."

The Sadrist movement in Iraq is waving a "surprising and unthinkable step"

 

Today, Wednesday, the Sadrist movement in Iraq, led by Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr, threatened to take a "sudden and unthinkable step."

Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, al-Sadr’s spokesman, said in a press statement: “Whether the sit-ins in front of the Supreme Judicial Council building in Iraq on Tuesday were considered a failure or a success, it means that we will take another sudden step that does not occur to them if the people decide to continue the revolution and undermine the corrupt.” .

 

He explained that "the Judicial Council's announcement to suspend the work of the judiciary was not constitutional, which means that the judiciary is trying to remove suspicions from it in an illegal way, especially since the demonstration was peaceful."

Al-Sadr's spokesman suggested that "the Iraqi judiciary is trying to uncover some corruption files to stave off another sit-in, and perhaps it will issue arrest warrants against those who demand reform, right or wrong...".

He considered that the forces of the Shiite coordinating framework see the Iraqi judiciary as the only protector for them and that if the sit-in continues in front of it, they will not have a presence in the future and they will not be able to form a government.

Al-Sadr's spokesman said that "the fall of the current regime in Iraq does not please some, especially the US embassy."

It should be noted that the sit-in of al-Sadr's followers in front of the outer fence of the Supreme Judicial Council for several hours yesterday, Tuesday, caused a great shock in Iraqi political circles, which found it a violation of the sanctity of the Iraqi judiciary.

For the first time... Muqtada al-Sadr talks about the fall of the political system in Iraq

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the fall of the current regime in Iraq does not please some, led by the US embassy, threatening new escalatory steps that no one would think of.

Al-Sadr said through an account attributed to him in the name of “the Minister of the Leader” on Twitter, “The trumpets of power have come against the revolution, and I will characterize them in another article if they do not patronize, and that those trumpets came when we protested before the Supreme Judicial Council, fearing that the judiciary would resort to exposing their corruption files, and they thought That the demonstrators will storm the council, and therefore files will fall into their hands that expose everyone without exception.”

And he stated that “(The framework) considers the judiciary to be the only protector for them.. If the sit-in continues in front of it, they will not have a future existence and will not be able to form a government, just as the fall of the current regime does not please some, led by the American embassy, and the fall of corruption in the Iraqi judiciary means for them The revolution may overthrow corrupt people like them, for they consider the judiciary to be the head, and the fall of the head means the fall of what is below it.”

Al-Sadr added that "what bothered them the most was the demand for the resignation of Faeq Zeidan (head of the Supreme Judicial Council), who is considered the biggest supporter of (the framework)."

The leader of the Sadrist movement continued, “What resulted from this sit-in demonstrated the revolutionaries’ courage and surprise, and this is what terrified them. We also removed the international pressures by demanding dialogue with the corrupt. .

And he indicated, “Perhaps he will issue arrest warrants against those who demand reform, right or wrong, and not issue that against the other party. This means that the judiciary is trying to remove suspicions from him in an illegal way, especially since the demonstration was peaceful.”

Al-Sadr stressed that “the sit-in in front of the Supreme Judicial Council building was a break in the noses of the corrupt, as they were unable to defend themselves and imitate the actions of the revolution, as they did previously with the call for million demonstrations last week, and everyone is unanimous that corruption has affected the judicial institution for twenty years, and most are unanimous on that.” As soon as (the current) held a sit-down in front of him, the judiciary became second to none and was almost infallible, as well as corruption and unjustice.”

And the leader of the Sadrist movement concluded by saying that “whether this step is considered a failure or a success, it means that we will take another sudden step that they do not think of if the people decide to continue the revolution and undermine the corrupt and anger them, and we have more.”

Today, the Supreme Judicial Council in Iraq entered strongly on the line of the political crisis that has been going on in the country for several months, this came after the sit-in started by the supporters of the Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, at the council's gate in the Green Zone, before they withdrew by the order of their leader later.

The Iraqi crisis escalated, after the parliamentary elections last October, due to differences over the form of the next government, between Sadr and the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, as the crisis between them reached the sit-in of al-Sadr's supporters in the Green Zone in Baghdad, early this month. .

Al-Sadr, as well as Iraqi public opinion, accuses the judiciary of favoring political leaders, and the lack of seriousness in holding those involved in the crimes accountable, as well as some decisions that “cast” in favor of the forces of the coordination framework backed by Iran, at the expense of their rival Al-Sadr.

[horsesoldier]

This is going to continue for a very long time because neither side will budge an inch, thus the rhetoric will just become more ramped up as issues arise.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we were here in January '23, still no seated government with Sadr & Tater still wagging accusatory fingers at each other.

Lawyers.. "The Sadrists did not leave Salamiyah with the sit-in of the Judicial Council, and there are no legal consequences against them."

 

 2022-08-25 05:57

 

 

Shafaq News / Legal specialists and human rights activists revealed that the Sadrist sit-ins in front of the headquarters of the Supreme Judicial Council did not violate the laws despite "not studying the consequences of this step." Al-Sadr does not go beyond "exaggeration and exaggeration."

 

Peaceful and no legal consequences

 

Lawyer Ahmed Al-Tamimi, 30, told Shafaq News that "the protests adopted by al-Sadr's supporters are legitimate, and it can achieve the dreams of Iraqis in a national government that puts the concerns of Iraqis among its priorities, but this does not mean that the matter is not without failures of the escalatory movements, especially Protesting in front of the Supreme Judicial Council building, and the consequences of that had to be taken into account,” he said, noting that “the protest was peaceful and did not cause material or other damage to the Supreme Judicial Council.

 

Hundreds of al-Sadr's followers had set up tents for an open sit-in in front of the Judicial Council building and carried slogans that included their demands in addition to asking the judiciary to consider some of the files that those slogans referred to, including (the file of the Speicher massacre, the fall of Mosul, money smuggling, accountability for those involved in corruption), before they withdrew In front of the council headquarters after orders issued to them.

 

legitimate pressure

 

In turn, the jurist Mustafa (37 years), told Shafak News Agency, that "the protests are constitutionally guaranteed and therefore cannot be classified as a violation of the state's prestige, but rather an attempt to express public dissatisfaction with the lack of judicial intervention in implementing the demands of the sit-ins or demonstrators, the most important of which is the dissolution of Parliament along with It was a means of pressure to resolve some of the silent files."

 

Umm Reem (57 years), a human rights activist, told Shafak News Agency, "If efforts were combined to end the state of chaos and political confusion, it would have succeeded in removing the corrupt and restructuring the political process to achieve the real interests of the country."

 

Legal articles that contradict the suspension of the judiciary

 

The legal expert, Amir Al-Daami, confirms to Shafaq News Agency, "The Supreme Judicial Council Law of 2017 does not stipulate in the terms of the powers of the President of the Council to suspend the work of the Supreme Judicial Council for any reason, and therefore it is not within the authority of the President of the Judicial Council to suspend or disrupt the work of Iraqi courts, but rather On the contrary, Article 330 of the Iraqi Penal Code No. 111 of 1969 states that “Any public servant or person charged with a public service who unjustly refrains from performing one of his duties or willfully breaches his duties shall be punished by imprisonment.”

 

Al-Daami adds, “Also, Article 331 of the same law stipulates that it is punishable by imprisonment or a fine for any public servant or agent who willfully commits something that violates his duties or refrains from performing his work with the intent of harming the interest of an individual or with the intention of personal benefit at the expense of the state.”

 

The head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zeidan, had directed the suspension of the work of the Iraqi courts as an official response to the demonstration of Sadr's supporters in front of the judicial authority building.

 

Al-Daami points out that “it is not within the power of the judiciary to issue judicial orders to arrest protesters or sit-ins, because the Iraqi constitution guarantees the right to demonstrate,” noting that “the demonstrations of Sadr’s supporters in front of the Judicial Council did not cause their leader any legal impasse or consequences, because the demonstrators did not cross the building. Or they stormed the courtyard of the building or crossed its gates besides that they were peaceful and did not carry weapons, in addition to raising banners bearing their demands.

The platforms also confirmed, “The (Petranus) field or the Al-Gharraf oil field (north of Nasiriyah) between the Shukr Qalaat and Al-Rifai district produces 200,000 barrels per day, and that the leader of the Dawa Party, Kata Najiman (Abu Mujahid) dominates it,” noting that “ Closing production fields will stop 83 percent of oil exports.”

Activists published the names of many fields, stressing that they will be closed, and they are in the governorates of Basra, Maysan, Nasiriyah, including the Abu Zarqan field, the Abu Gharb field in Maysan, the Rumaila fields in Basra, the Zubair field, the Qurna field, the Western Qurna field, and the giant Majnoon field in the governorate.

Sadrist escalation requires a corresponding reaction from the framework...this for that & that for this, demands & counter demands...how long knowing who & what we're dealing with here, do U think they can keep this going while nothing continues to be accomplished ???

I mean honestly folks, they're approaching a year with no seated government...and shock and surprise the high court put off hearing the case to dissolve Parliament til August 30 !?!?!?

A few my group of IQD investors think there's no hope for these people short of a full blown civil war to root out the corruption. In that theres no guarantee the people win that fight either.
