Chairman of the former Integrity said the recent changes, which affected dozens of judges and prosecutors in order to reform the judiciary institution, took advantage of the reform logo and are a way to get rid of opponents judges, inside the device, which "dominated by a single person and runs joints illegally," he said.
He said the judge supplements several charges raised against him after a severe approach to former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, said his opposition to the recent changes included judges in civilian courts, did not affect the well-known figures close to the President of the Judicial Council, some of them constantly in his 9 years ago.While he said that some of the recent movements of prosecutors and judges may pose a threat to the lives of some of them, for being selected in the "safe" areas, spoke about the appointment of women "have recently given the era of" the job to ease the pressure on them and pass resolutions, calling the events of real reforms through legislation Judicial Council and the Court Rules Federal and end positions managed by proxy.
And got the "long" on a list of 18 names of judges and prosecutors who have been transferred and replaced by others in only Rusafa courts, mostly within the courts, "personal status", and "first instance", and the courts of "misdemeanors", including five women.
The Parliamentary Legal Committee revealed recently about changes included more than 90 officials from the judiciary. Between the judge and the prosecutor. The parliamentary committee described these actions as part of the process of "reform" adopted by the Government of Haider al-Abadi.
But the former head of the Integrity Commission Rahim Ugaili said "long" that "the recent transfers conducted by the Supreme Judicial Council last week, was intended to mislead public opinion and mock the existence of reforms in the judiciary, but the process has mostly been beaten to the judges opponents or committed to neutrality and dissatisfaction deviation of the judiciary, and the subordination of its leadership and implementation of agendas and political orders.

He Ugaili "On the other hand the Council adopted a transfer of judges young women who have recently given appointment and expertise to the investigation in Baghdad courts in the belief that it will allow the gangs take complete control of the criminal courts and direct orders over the phone from the heads of Appeals who accuse many of them of corruption and breach of law and manipulation of justice and the rights of the people."
I take it the chief of the former Integrity that the judiciary in Iraq "is still lacking legitimacy" because managed most of the joints by proxy, because of the lack of law to the Supreme Judicial Council regulates the work and there is no valid text refers to who is the President of the Council and who are its members, he said.

He adds Ugaili "must in a series reform the judiciary to pass a law for judicial review to keep the corrupt judges who were involved in human rights violations during the past years, and the adoption of long-term by law to prepare a large number of judges young graduates top in law schools plan and be by law depends Plan to Aaadahm and rehabilitation to ensure high foundations in the elimination of scientific competence and respect for human rights and the protection of public freedoms. "
Conversely description statement released on Monday, for the Judicial Council, Ugaili to "convict", the Board denied that one of the judges had phoned body former Integrity, also denied the judiciary, to be one of the judges talked about the near sack "Medhat al-Mahmoud," from his post . Ugaili in response to the statement, saying, "Do not call me one of the Judicial Council, but you said that one of the judges, who requested anonymity, had protested against the recent changes in the courts."
