Basra PC member threatens to globalize the Kuwait violations against Iraq
Basra (NINA) - Member of the Basra provincial council, Magda Al Khurasani, threatened globalize the Kuwaiti violations against Iraq in case of the absence of the Kuwaiti authorities response to the Iraqi demands.
She said "in the case of non-response of the Kuwaiti side to the Iraqi demands to stop the construction of Great Port Mubarak, the nuclear reactor, UN Resolution 833, stealing of oil wells (slant drilling), then, the Iraqi authorities will globalize these issues to the UN."
She told NINA today that "building a nuclear reactor on the Iraqi border is a violation of the laws of the neighboring countries, set by the UN."
Khurasani explained that "the nuclear reactor Kuwait plans to build is 500meters away from the first residential area in Iraq, and 30km from the nearest Kuwaiti residential area. This is what should be the focus of civil society organizations and international human rights organizations; they should put it as a main priority for them. /End/

Baghdad (NINA) - Moqtada Al Sadr, leader of the Sadr Trend, strongly denounced the opening of U.S. Consulate in Basra.
Sheikh Salah Al Obeidi, spokesman for Sadr, said in a statement to the media center of the Political Commission of the Sadr Trend which was issued today "democracy, which is highly glorified by the Americans, obligates the respect of the peoples’ opinion and their representatives (as they claim), but, they disrespected that sanctity when they presented a request to open a Consulate for them in Basra, and it was accepted by the Iraqi ministry of foreign affairs, because the Basra provincial council voted in majority last week on a resolution to prevent the entry of the occupying forces to the province."
He added "the occupation will use an excuse of the need to allow troops into the province to protect the U.S. Consulate."
He noted that "Al Sadr calls for not passing such legal violations without deterrent responses at the political and public levels in order not to repeat such attempts to violate Iraqi sovereignty."
