In a run of items this evening, Al-Ahad TV reported that the Babylon provincial council has filed a lawsuit against former MP Adnan al-Janabi over his recent statements describing the liberation of Jurf al-Nasr as an occupation, and that the governor rejected the remarks. The channel carried Deputy Provincial Council Chairman Hamza al-Jubouri saying the description is rejected outright, that terrorist gangs were the occupiers rather than those who sacrificed to liberate the area, and that the return of displaced families requires the district to be rehabilitated. A further item by the channel characterised al-Janabi's statements as sectarian discourse seeking to undermine stability. The rung is credible for the statements and the reported legal step, which come from this channel alone in the collected window.

بابل تنفذ الادعاءات بشأن جرف النصر.. تحرك قضائي ورفض للتصريحات النشاز - مجلس محافظة بابل أقام دعوى قضائية بحق الجنابي على خلفية تصريحاته الأخيرة
Displaced families' return to Jurf al-Nasr is made conditional on rehabilitation in the same statement that closes off the public argument about who holds the district, and a lawsuit now attaches legal cost to making that argument.
