Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for MKO leaders Masoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi .

Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for the leaders of the terrorist Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization, an Iraqi daily reports.

Arrest warrants have been issued for Masoud Rajavi, his wife Maryam Rajavi, and 35 other MKO members, Iraqi daily al-Mo’tamar reported on Monday.

The warrants require the Iraqi Interior Ministry and the Interpol to arrest and hand over the wanted figures to Iraq’s Criminal Court, the report said.
