On 16 August 2026, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) carried a statement by Sara al-Mahmoodawi, identified as a Sadiqoun deputy, calling on the Iraqi government to assume responsibility and send the two PMF laws to the Council of Representatives rather than leave them hostage to delay. She asked that they be adopted and voted so as to secure legal rights and entitlements for PMF personnel, citing their sacrifices. No other collected item in the window repeats the demand.

“I call on the Iraqi government to assume its responsibility and expedite sending the two PMF laws to the Council of Representatives, and not to leave these legislations hostage to delay.”
أطالب الحكومة العراقية بتحمل مسؤوليتها والإسراع بإرسال قانوني الحشد الشعبي إلى مجلس النواب، وعدم إبقاء هذه التشريعات رهينة التأخير
Watch: government transmission of the two laws, a named session or vote date, endorsement on another faction’s official channel, or a competing Sadiqoun formulation — any of these moves this file.
