AAH channel airs accountability case against PMF chief Fayyadh

WHAT HAPPENED

On 20 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) carried remarks by political analyst Muhammad Salah Turki saying Falih al-Fayyadh may or may not appear before parliament over the negligence case concerning the failure to notify the evacuation of PMF headquarters before the aggression, and that if his negligence is proven he will be held legally accountable. The same segment said Iraqi law is clear and that there can be no leniency with Iraqi blood, while adding that the country holds many thorny files whose opening could rebound negatively on the Iraqi street. The channel published the remarks twice within two minutes, as a headline card and as a four-point summary; the speaker is identified only as a political analyst and no other tracked channel in the collected window carried the accountability line.

    “If al-Fayyadh's negligence in the case of failing to notify the evacuation of the PMF headquarters before the aggression is proven, he will be held legally accountable … Iraqi law is clear and there can be no leniency with Iraqi blood … there are many thorny files in the country and opening them could rebound negatively on the Iraqi street”

    إذا ثبت تقصير الفياض في قضية عدم التبليغ بإخلاء مقرات الحشد قبل العدوان فإنه سيحاسب قانونيا … القانون العراقي واضح ولا يمكن التهاون بدماء العراقيين … هناك ملفات كثيرة شائكة في البلاد ومن المحتمل أن ينعكس فتحها سلبا على الشارع العراقي
