Four people died after being struck on the head by tear gas canisters.

Protester Silwan Ali, 33, said:"Our protests are peaceful, we only have flags and water bottles, but they keep firing bombs at us, firing tear gas at us.Another protester, who would not give his name, said:"The government has been stealing from us for 15 years. "I want change," said Fares Mukhaled, 19."I want to remove those corrupt people who sleep in the Green Zone and who fired tear gas and rubber bullets at us."A parliamentary discussion of the protests, scheduled for Saturday, was cancelled after failing to reach a quorum, with many politicians staying home to avoid the violence.
