BAGHDAD (MEMO) – An Iraqi court has issued an arrest warrant against a leader in the Sadrist Movement on charges relating to threatening the judiciary. The Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq said in a statement that the Karkh First Inquiry Court in Baghdad issued an arrest warrant against Sabah al-Saedi for the crime of threatening the judiciary. Al-Saedi, who is a prominent leader in the Sadrist Movement, published tweets yesterday in which he criticized the Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq, claiming that it “deals with the rebellious people and parties of corruption in the same way.” The court had started the procedures of collecting evidence on what it described as a crime of threatening the Federal Court.
