#2 One of the group's aims was "to raise awareness among Kurds of their rights and help them choose the right representatives in town councils and the Parliament as these are the only ways they can get through to the authority," Adab said.

Adab is an outspoken former MP who was barred from running again in 2004 when the Council of Guardians disqualified him and thousands of other candidates. He insisted that the front was not a formal political party or NGO, which need to be authorized by the state if they are to advertise, hold meetings and take new members.
