Hundreds of anti-government protesters marched Wednesday in southern Iraq to mourn a dead activist after a night during which the headquarters of two pro-Iran militias were set on fire, an AFP correspondent reported.
Thaer al-Tayeb, a prominent activist from the city of Diwaniya, went to Baghdad’s Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the unprecedented revolt shaking Iraq, when the rallies started nearly three months ago. After Tayeb’s death in hospital was announced Tuesday, crowds of demonstrators rushed to the two local headquarters of pro-Iran militias and torched them.
Then they torched the headquarters of Assaib Ahl al-Haq, a group whose head Qais al-Khazali is subject to sanctions by the United States, accused of “kidnapping, murder and torture”.Around 460 protesters have been killed since the start of the demonstrations in early October and 25,000 have been wounded.
