(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The European Parliament urged Iraq on Thursday to drop a death sentence against Tareq Aziz, warning that killing him would “do little to improve the climate of violence.”
The parliament adopted a resolution reiterating its opposition to the death penalty in all cases, including war crimes and genocide, and called it “the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.”
The European Parliament expressed as well its deep concern over recent attacks on Christians in Iraq mainly the attack on Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad.
