“It is necessary to stop all raids and stalking over Vice-President Hashemi’s headquarters, offices and houses of employees, their families and relatives to allow them to get back to their official duties,” the temporary office stressed in a statement, a copy of which was delivered to Alsumarianews.
“Two employees have been detained since 5 days without details about the reason or place of detention,” the statement added calling to ensure safety of all detainees and to release those detained without judicial warrants.
“Iraqi constitution and its enforced laws prevent the detention of accused in unofficial places and limit detention operations, transfers and protection of the accused to Justice Ministry only,” the statement highlighted asking Iraqi prosecution presidency and Commander General of Armed Forces’ office to undertake all necessary actions to transfer detained bodyguards and employees of Hashemi to Justice Ministry’s detention places.
