Senior Euro MP attacks ‘genocidal campaign’ of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki

The Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has today been accused of a genocidal campaign against the Sunni population by senior Euro MP Struan Stevenson.  

Mr Stevenson, a Scottish Conservative MEP and Chair of the powerful Delegation for Relations with Iraq, said that the massive Iraqi military assault on Fallujah and Ramadi in al-Anbar Province is the latest phase in Nouri al-Maliki's campaign to eliminate all opposition to his regime prior to the elections on 30th April.

A Bee in the Bonnet

The European Parliament in Strasbourg is buzzing with excitement this week over a major challenge to a ruling by judges in the Court of Justice. In 2011 Europe's highest court ruled that pollen is an ingredient of honey, in direct contradiction to all understanding and practices in the sector. The judge's decision will cost EU honey producers an estimated £2.7 million in re-labelling jars of honey to indicate that they contain pollen, potentially undermining consumer confidence in honey.

Genocide of Iraq’s Sunni Population Likely, warns Scots MEP

Iraq is plummeting rapidly towards civil war and genocide according to senior EU lawmaker Struan Stevenson, a Scottish Conservative Euro MP who chairs the European Parliament’s powerful Delegation for Relations with Iraq. Stevenson says that a current Iraqi Government-ordered onslaught against supposed Al-Qaeda terrorists in six Iraqi Provinces is no more than a cover for the “annihilation of Sunnis opposed to the increasingly sectarian Shia policies of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.”
