Swedish party protests about demo arrests
(Hawlati)
The Swedish Left Party has criticised the Kurdish
government over the arrest of participants in
demonstrations across the region. In a letter to the
authorities, which Hawlati has obtained a copy of,
the party defends the right to demonstrate. It also
points out that several of those arrested were party
members.

issued weekly by the Ranj Print House.)
More electricity cuts in September
(Kuridstani Nwe)
Chenar Khafaf, director of Kurdistan Electricity
Ministry, has said that power supplies will be
further limited from September 1 in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Hoshyar Siwaily, Iraqi Kurdistan’s minister of
electricity, is meanwhile in Baghdad to try to
increase supplies from the capital to the region.
Khafaf said Baghdad had agreed to supply 160 mega
watts of energy on a daily basis, but it is
currently only half that amount and sometimes just a
quarter.
