Iraq Attacks - Amnesty Calls For Probe

"The Iraqi authorities must ensure an immediate, thorough, impartial, and transparent investigation is carried out and those responsible are brought to justice in proceedings that comply with the most rigorous internationally recognized standards for fair trial," Sahraoui said.
Amnesty also condemned a death sentence handed down on Sunday to Hashemi for the murder of a lawyer and a brigadier general, a decision that has raised tensions in Iraq and threatens to reignite a political crisis that has paralysed the government for months. MORE
