font-family: Georgia, Palatino;\">Amin Bakir, one of Goran&#8217;s Iraqi MPs told &#8220;Awene&#8221; that the Iraqi ministry of foreign affairs has issued an obligation, in which all Iraqi embassies are instructed not to reissue any passports for anyone without the person&#8217;s attendance at their Offices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Georgia, Palatino;\">&#8220;Awene&#8221; was told by the above mentioned MP, that after gathering votes to issue a decree in Parliament to stop the compulsory deportations of the Iraqi refugees,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Georgia, Palatino;\">They have informed the ministry of foreign affairs, that some European countries in addition to the organizations helping refugees and security forces in those countries are committing an illegal inhuman act of compulsory deportation of Iraqi refugees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Georgia, Palatino;\">The organizations inform the Iraqi embassies that the refugees want to go back to Iraq and need passports while they are arrested, and detained in prisons and of which they have no idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;
