Iraqi officials say one protester has died and 12 have been wounded amid ongoing clashes in central Baghdad.
Riot police fire tear gas while blocking al-Rashid Street during clashes with anti-government demonstrators in Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019.
A protester was struck with a rubber bullet and died instantly and 12 others were wounded in the fighting on Rasheed Street, a famous avenue known for its old crumbling architecture and now littered with rubble from days of violence. Fifteen people have died and over 100 wounded in the renewed clashes. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
Separately, Iraq’s Parliament failed to hold a session Saturday due to lack of a quorum. Lawmakers were supposed to read reform bills introduced to placate protesters. The next session was postponed to Monday.
