Baghdad- Iraq 08/10/2019

The number of killed people from continued demonstrations increased in Iraq since a week to more than 110 and around 6000 injured, where bloody clashes broke out on Monday between demonstrators and security forces around Sadr City, east of Baghdad, killing 13 people and injuring dozens, while the Security forces closed Tahrir Square and deployed heavily along the road leading to Sadr City to keep the protesters away, and the extension of the demonstrations to Sadr City poses a new security challenge for authorities and officials in Iraq.
