BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: Al-Iraqiya bloc’s spokesperson Maysoon al-Damalouji expressed her expectations that Iraq will yield to international jurisdiction on improving the humanistic side of Iranian opposition Ashraf Camp residents, pointing out that “the case does not need to punish them.”  In a statement issued by her office, as received by IraqiNews.com, she added that the decision made by the Spanish court on the killings that took place in the camp had its impact on the political arena here.  “The Iraqi government will retreat from its stand due to international pressures,” the statement added.  Media reports noted that on 15 July, 2011, the Spanish court agreed to investigate the suit filed against the Iraqi officials for killing 36 camp members and injuring 350.  According to the court summon papers, Iraqi premier Nouri al-Maliki was among them, who could be called to the court whenever he leaves his present post and deprived of his privileges.
