An Iraqi court's decision ruling against secession following a Kurdish bid for independence was "highly politicised" and part of a wider set of "vengeful" policies imposed by Baghdad, officials in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region told Al Jazeera. Iraq's Supreme Federal Court said on Monday that the constitution did not allow for the secession of any part of the country, stressing the preservation of unity and territorial integrity.
