The committee's member Ashwaq Al Gaf

Iraqi human rights committee said that the recent amendments of General Amnesty law will allow the authorities to re-investigate the crimes committed before the fall of Mousl in 2014.

The committee's member Ashwaq Al Gaf said, in a statement to "Arabs Today", that the committee refuses the amendments, as it targets to pardon specific officials  accused of falsification.

She expressed her resentment that the Iraqi parliament passed these amendments, saying that the parliamentarians accepted the amendments despite their reservations.

According to the amendments, she said, the law will exclude the kidnappers if they have not caused impairments to the victims, saying that it is not fair as many Iraqis paid a lot of money to liberate their sons from the criminal gangs.

In the same context, Iraqi parliamentarian Toran said that the parliament turned to accept the amendments, they allow the authorities to re-investigate the crimes committed before the fall of Mousl at the hands of ISIS on June 10, 2014.

He added that the judicial committees formed by the parliament considered the cases of 7168 imprisoners, while the Justice Ministry decided to release just 380 persons.

The Iraqi parliament voted for General Amnesty law this month in principle, as it will vote on its articles in the beginning of the new legislative round.

On his hand, Iraq's Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi criticized the law days after its approval, describing the parliamentary amendments as criminal. He promised that the government will provide its amendments.
