Iraq’s Parliament Votes To Ban Alcohol / Most important laws

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty – 2016-10-23 02:59 GMT – Iraq’s parliament has voted to ban the sale, import, and production of alcohol — a move that is expected to please influential Islamic parties but anger some non-Muslim minority groups.  Supporters of the ban argued ahead of the October 22 vote that it is justified by Iraq’s constitution, which prohibits any law contradicting Islam. But some opponents argued that the legislation violates Iraq’s constitutional guarantees for the traditions of religious minorities. The ban was added at the last minute to a draft law on municipalities. Coming as a surprise to those who oppose such a ban, the passage of the law also came while many were focused on Iraq’s ongoing battle for control of the northern city of Mosul. The law calls for a fine ranging from $8,000 to $20,000 for each violation. www.mesop.de
