ERBIL - Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi has issued arrest warrants for those headteachers who have shut down the schools in support to the demonstrations.

Alongside several public offices, schools were also closed after teachers declared a general strike to support the protests who have been ongoing against the government since the beginning of last month.

The spokesperson of the Commander-in-Chief of Iraqi Armed Forces, Major General Abdul Karim Khalaf, said in a statement that the arrest warrants have been issued for the teachers and headmasters behind the shutting down of the schools in the country.
