Day Eight - Colonel Dindar Yusif Kalash arrested for showing support for the "Change" List


Shkow Sharif

I have just received an email from Wladimir van Wilgenburg a fellow blogger covering the KRG Elections informing me of reports that a Peshmerga colonel (Colonel Dindar Yusif Kalash) has been arrested in Mosul for showing support to the "Change" list. This report has so far only been conformed by the "Change" list party website http://www.gorran.com/ and Wusha Corporation’s newspaper "Rojnama" (headed by Nawshirwan Mustafa the head of the "Change" list).


If this story proves to be true it is far removed from President Barzani's 'free election' rhetoric that has been deployed over the past few weeks.
