PUK-official Schno Shex
Latif recently promised Halabja to invest more in
the troubled region. She said 463,577 million dollar
will be invested in Halabja. Also 8000 poor families
will receive a monthly payment. This month violent
protests erupted against corruption and poverty in
the region in Halabja.
Awene
(Kurdish Newspaper issued in Kurdistan-Iraq)
recently suggested that PUK in the breach of the
Iraqi constitution which they had approved.
According to Awena four NGO’s reported that most of
the detained protestors were subjected to physical
and physiological torture in the PUK detention
centre.
Few thousand protestors gathered on the 18th
anniversary of Saddam Hussein's chemical attack on
the town and destroyed the Halabja Monument, the
symbol of victims of Halabja.
The PUK security fired live ammunition into the air,
killing one person and wounding at least eleven, in
a bid to stop the mayhem by protesters. We will see
next year Newroz, if South-Kurdistan
(Kurdistan-Iraq) will overcome their problems or
will need a new Kawa.
