No call for boycott has worked, ... The most important thing is for Iraqis to take part by voting 'yes' or 'no.'

I understand the position of international organizations such as the United Nation, which is against the death penalty.

They were hanged to death.

We are faced with a reality in Iraq where people are murdering, and what we want is a sentence which punishes the hand that kills and the person who commits this crime.

The government strongly condemns this assassination and believes that the only people who benefit from this are those who want to block the course of justice and move the trial out of Iraq .

We strongly condemn these attacks and offer our condolences to the families of the victims.

The total from the operations is 90 killed while the number of arrests has reached 178.

We want this trial to be transparent and a national event.

This cowardly act ... attempts to divert attention from bringing justice to those who violated the law and disrespected human lives.
