Home Security Iraqi Judiciary Faces Major Challenge Receiving Thousands of Terrorists from Syria

rafidainscope - The head of the National Center for International Judicial Cooperation revealed that Iraq has received thousands of terrorist elements transferred from Syrian territories, confirming that this operation posed a significant challenge to the Iraqi judicial institution.

In official statements, he clarified that taking custody of over 5,700 terrorists from Syrian prisons required exceptional efforts from the Iraqi judiciary. He noted that judicial authorities have immediately initiated the necessary legal proceedings against them in accordance with applicable national legislation.

These developments align with the state's ongoing efforts to close the file of terrorists detained abroad, ensuring they face justice and are tried domestically under Iraqi laws, thereby strengthening national security and stability.
