Iraq's anti-Government protesters have been dealt a major blow, with a popular cleric and political leader withdrawing his support for the months-long demonstrations that have erupted across the Middle Eastern country.
On Saturday, another four demonstrators were killed by security forces: three in Nasiriyah and one in Baghdad.Previously, protesters had the support of Muqtada al-Sadr — a powerful cleric and Iraqi politician — who had urged his followers and militia to lend support to the protest movement, according to activists.
Mr al-Sadr withdrew his support after most anti-government protesters reportedly did not turn up to an anti-US rally he and his supporters organised, prompting scores of his supporters to pack down their protest camps in Baghdad and in other cities.
