Following the Spanish National Court ruling against Maliki and three other criminals being summoned, Nouri Maliki resorted to providing advice (!) for the Spanish court through his spokesman Ali Dabbagh.
“These writs are issued against individuals who represent the government and have immunity,” al-Hayat daily cited Dabbagh as saying. “From a political point of view, we advise a country like Spain to not get involved in such issues.”
However, due to the fact that international conventions and the international “Responsibility to Protect” principle does not allow pitiful dictators such as Maliki and Khamenei to raise excuses such as national sovereignty, Maliki and his inner circle have no other choice other than resorting to chain reactions, one more pathetic than the other and revealing more than ever how empty-handed they actually are.
Al-Sabah daily published a story on 19 July 2011 entitled “Madrid envoy summoned to explain Spanish court writ on Ashraf” and wrote: “Al-Sabbah has been informed that Baghdad will summon Spain’s ambassador to ask for an explanation regarding the Spanish National Court ruling regarding the issue of Camp Ashraf…The Spanish envoy must explain and report about the special writ issued by the Spanish National Court summoning Prime Minister Nouri Maliki and three military commanders regarding the incidents in Camp Ashraf!”
Al-Sabah also cited Iraqi MP Adnan al-Shahmani from Maliki’s State of Law coalition accusing the Spanish court of receiving bribes.
“This court, as it appears, has received money to issue a writ in this regard, and such a ruling is not under its jurisdiction,” he said during an interview with the NINA news agency. Al-Shahmani said this ruling is not binding, lacks any value and is a flagrant violation in the affairs of a democratic country that has an independent justice system!
