Iraqi court issues warrant for arrest of Kurdistan Region vice president

A detailed contemporary report quoting the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council's stated basis for the arrest warrant against Kosrat Rasul and linking it to his description of federal forces in Kirkuk.

The report states that a Rusafa investigations court issued the warrant after Kosrat Rasul referred to Iraqi Federal Police units in Kirkuk as occupying forces. It also records that the judiciary viewed his statements as incitement under Article 226. This provides independent contemporary corroboration of the legal action reported by Reuters.
