Sulaimaniyah,
Kurdistan-Iraq, September 17, -- The Iraqi Kurdistan
parliament has unanimously voted to re-institute the
death penalty. The law will go to the Kurdish
president for final approval and ratification.
Meanwhile The Kurdistan Regional Government's
Minister of Human Rights, Shwan Muhammed Aziz,
criticised the September 11 decision by the Kurdish
parliament to reinstate capital punishment.
"We oppose this decision. We will try to change this
decision in a legal manner. This is to avoid
distorting the civil and democratic image of
Kurdistan that it gained throughout the past years."
Shwan said.
