The head of the Maysan District Council, Mustafa Deer, in a message to Al-Zaidi: There is no need to instruct the Maysan Operations Command to implement an arrest warrant against me because I am neither a criminal nor a lawbreaker. I represent the legislative authority in Maysan province. I am a statesman, a member of a large and authentic tribe, and I belong to a respected political and jihadist party. I will go with my feet and hand myself over to the Iraqi justice system.
