MP Sihail called the government represented by Ministries of (Justice, Women, Human Rights and the Interior) to “immediately investigate the report of the HRW instead of just denying them to assure that such violations are not adopted in Iraq after 2003.”

She also urged the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee, and the Women Committee as well as the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights and the concerned civil society organizations to “investigate this issue and follow up the conditions of the women prisoners.”
