Protesters in Iraq Kill Teen, Hang His Corpse in Public

The resigned prime minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said that the criminal act confirms the propriety of the governments measures taken to protect the public security, adding that organized groups have been involved in acts of murder, intimidation and deactivation of state institutions.

The US State Department issued a statement in which it called for halting the “systematic killing” of the protesters in Iraq, warning that Washington and its allies may meet at the United Nations to hold the regimes, which are “involved in killing peaceful protesters”, responsible.
