On September 10th, 2026, another hearing of the case of Lalazar was held in the Sulaimani Criminal Court.
Metro has learned that the General Directorate of Security - Sulaimani, invited several journalists to attend the hearing.
Monitoring the courts and opening the courtroom to citizens, human rights organizations, activists and journalists will strengthen citizens' confidence in the judiciary and expand the right to obtain information.
Metro Center was not on the security invite list, but the presence of several of our colleagues is a positive step for transparency and the right to know.
