Iraq's highest court has temporarily halted three controversial laws passed by parliament, including one that activists claim undermines women's rights. The court's ruling comes amid a legal challenge regarding the parliamentary voting process. One law amends the personal status law, granting Islamic courts more authority, which activists warn could reverse women's legal protections. Another law proposes a general amnesty for Sunni detainees, raising concerns about releasing those convicted of serious crimes. The third law aims to return land to the Kurdish population, facing opposition from some Arab factions. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
