Iraqi medical and security officials say clashes between protesters and security forces in central Baghdad have killed two people and wounded 42.

A protester takes cover during ongoing protests, in downtown Baghdad, Iraq, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019.

According to the officials, the casualties occurred in the Khilani area near Tahrir Square, which has been witnessing protests for weeks. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. Thursday’s clashes came a day after protesters said that an intensifying crackdown by authorities has been instilling fear and reducing turnout but said they would remain defiant. The protesters also called for people to return to the streets in large numbers later this week.

clashes?!! security forces attacked peaceful protesters, paramedics, and those who were staying in tents. all the protestors did was removing the tear gas canisters that were shot at them! THERE WERE NO CLASHES

Oh good, I’m glad the CLASHES killed all those people, not the cops.
