He resigned as a member of the Kurdistan Parliament in 2020.[3] Within the same year, parliamentary immunity was removed from him so that legal charges could be brought against him due to his involvement in the Kheli Hama massacre.[5][6]

Relations with Mullah Krekar

Soran Omar was a communist as a young man, although he would meet Mullah Krekar and later join his Islah wing of the Kurdish mujahideen. He then became the editor of the magazine called Mawa, which Mullah Krekar owned. They cut ties in 2009 over Soran Omar publishing an image which Mullah Krekar warned him not to publish.[7]
