Difference between Sadrists – State of Law simple – MP

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: A Legislature from the State of Law Alliance has said on Sunday that the difference that    broke out between his Alliance and the Sadrist Bloc’s representatives in the Parliament’s session during its discussion of the General Amnesty Law, had “been a simple difference in viewpoints,” confirming that the session had been lifted for half an hour only.”   “Everybody have agreed in-principle about the said Law, but it needs a delicate legal drafting, in such a way that it won’t cover those, whose hands were covered by the blood of Iraqis,” Mohammed al-Sayhoud told IraqiNews.com news agency, adding that the Parliament’s session had been lifted for half an    hour, due to the misunderstanding that took place between the State of Law and some of the members of the Sadrist Bloc.   The Sadrist Trend had announced on March 27 th last its presentation of a General Amnesty Law for all detainees and prisoners, with the exception of those, whose cases were related to the financial corruption or terrorism, whilst it had stressed that “the prisons dossier needs a revolution, which he had described as ‘courageous.’   Noteworthy is that Amnesty International Organization had reported in a report, issued on Sept. 12 th  last year, that over 30,000 people are detained in Iraqi prisons, without the issuance of any court decisions against them, adding that they had been exposed for torture and maltreatment, along with the death of several detainees due to torture or maltreatment by investigators or prison guards.   SKH (TR) 483
