ERBIL-Hewlêr,
Kurdistan region 'Iraq', — Over a document that says
a Kurdish Islamic party has been funded by an Iraqi
Sunni Islamic party, a Kurdish newspaper is sued for
2 billion Iraqi Dinars (IDs), (almost $1600,000).
Muhammed Hawdiany, lawyer of the Secretary General
of the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU), Salahaddin
Buhaddin, said that he had filed a lawsuit against
Bas weekly newspaper over a story that says KIU
received US$ 350 thousand from the Iraqi Islamic
Party led by Tariq Hashimi, former vice-president of
Iraq.
“Because Bas newspaper published libel against the
General Secretary, we have filed a lawsuit against
its editor-in-chief,” said Hawdiany. “The documents
it published were fake and far from the truth.”
