Iraqi court issues arrest warrants for Kurdish independence vote organizers

Supreme Judicial Council spokesman Abdel Sattar Bayraqdar told AFP on Wednesday that the warrants had been issued for Hendren Mohammed Saleh, Yari Hajji Omar and Wahida Yofo Hermez. The court ruled that the three “organized the referendum in contravention of a ruling by the Iraqi supreme court,” which had found the vote unconstitutional and ordered it called off.
