Zafer al-Aani, one of the leaders of Al-Iraqiya faction and Secretary General of National Future Assembly said that in a phone call with Mrs. Ossama al-Nujafi, Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, he has told him that his remarks during his visit to London have been distorted… He also denied the assertions attributed to him that the Parliament has approved the Prime Minister’s decision for expulsion of the PMOI to third countries. Because the Parliament has not had any discussion on this issue yet and has not put it in the Parliament’s agenda either.  Al-Nujaifi said ….that he approves  a just and peaceful solution regarding the case of Ashraf residents in the context of international law regarding refugees and human rights under UN supervision based on measures that would ensure their safety and respect for their rights emphasizing that he is against any hostile act or the policy of pressure and force against them.
