The Foreign Ministry's management has approached the State Attorney's Office to file a motion for a restraining order following the workers' committee's decision to freeze the transfer of ballots in which the country's emissaries voted abroad.
A Foreign Ministry statement said, "The request for an injunction is intended to enable all the public emissaries abroad to exercise their democratic right to participate in the elections. In addition, this step is intended to prevent members of the committee or any party on their behalf from delaying the transfer of the ballot boxes to their destination for the commission of a criminal offense to which they will be held accountable."
