Abadi project for reconciliation .. Does it include the acquittal of Hashemi, Issawi and Alawani?
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Comprehensive national reconciliation planned by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi may include a review of the death sentences and prison sentences imposed on Sunni opposition politicians, a political source said on Saturday.
A source close to the government said the project, which Abadi was preparing to put forward, was a comprehensive national reconciliation and a harbinger of problems.
The draft includes several items, including the prohibition of Iraqi blood, including a clause in the constitution that criminalizes sectarianism and national racism, the agreement on moderate religious discourse, and non-addressing of controversial issues, and compensation for those affected by the previous sectarian strife and terrorist crimes or crimes and violations of armed groups, Mosques and mosques "since 2006.
Observers believe that the paragraph of the return of opponents and wanted to the judiciary may be an important reason to blow up this project, which seeks to declare the Prime Minister to ensure that the situation in Iraq does not deteriorate again and work to approve the constitution and criminalize the call for sectarianism.
Political sources said that a number of Talubin to the judiciary will be part of the project of reconciliation prospective and can come to Iraq and face the judiciary to acquit them, and thus return to political action.
The sources confirm that "political understandings will be reached on the persons convicted under judicial rulings, with the support of the United Nations Mission and Washington." He pointed out that contacts and meetings are underway on this file, and it is possible to resolve in the near future the return of some of them to Iraq.
In turn, the decision of the Legal Committee in Parliament, MP Salim Shawqifi previous statements, that "any political deal taking place should not be at the expense of the independence of the judiciary, or the public right as crimes of terrorism and financial corruption." "The Prime Minister has the right to grant a special amnesty to any person at the request of the President of the Republic, but the general right of citizens, if the crimes are related to them, can not be dropped," Shawki said in an interview with the New Arab. "Anyone who believes he is innocent can return to Iraq and reopen his trial, but I do not think that those who are actually involved in crimes will return to Iraq even if he is in a deal," he said.
Among the most wanted candidates for the judiciary on charges of links to terrorism, former Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, Finance Minister Rafie al-Issawi, MP and Abdel-Nasser al-Janabi, as well as members of other political parties, some of them living in the Kurdistan region and others in Jordan and Turkey.
