    3. The neighborhoods demonstrations held are militarized and that makes them very angry. As Civil Society Committee, we will be suggesting new opportunities for monthly and periodical town halls with the CoR.

  • Look closely, using lethal force by the government forces in against protesters is clear.

  • wounded protesters
  • Families of killed protesters identifying their loved ones at the Hospital
  • Iraqi PM puts out a release regarding a phone call that he received from Secretary Pompeo, waiting for the state department version to match because the Iraqi version shows a supportive U.S stand to the government who is busy quelling protest.
  • The Iraqi PM ordered the Iraqi army units deployed to Al-Sader city to be replaced by Federal Poloce units due to an “excessive use of force by the army last night” I guess the videos coming out hopefully later on from the city will define what “ excessive “means.
