Iraq’s top judicial body suspends its activities following a sit-in staged by supporters of Shia cleric Muqtada al Sadr
Supporters of al Sadr have staged a sit-in outside the gates of the Supreme Judicial Council in Baghdad.
In a statement, the Supreme Judicial Council said on Tuesday that it decided to suspend all judicial activities after al Sadr’s supporters staged a sit-in outside the gates of the body's Baghdad headquarters to demand the dissolution of Parliament. The council held the government and the political party standing behind the demonstration full responsibility for the protest's consequences.
Al Kadhimi, according to the statement, warned that “disrupting the work of the judicial institution exposes the country to real dangers".
