Iraq’s top court suspends new legislation that activists say undermines women’s rights

  • Iraq's top court has suspended the implementation of three controversial bills passed by Parliament, including one that activists claim undermines women's rights.

  • The suspended bills include amendments to personal status law, a general amnesty law, and a bill regarding land confiscated from Kurds.
  • Women's rights advocates argue that these changes threaten previous reforms that protected women, while proponents claim they align laws with Islamic principles.
