More than 30 dead Thursday in bloody Iraq crackdown
More than 30 protesters were killed today in one of the bloodiest days in a wave of protest rocking Iraq, the Iraqi Human Rights Commission says, blaming the deaths on “excessive force.”
The Commission, a government-funded body which has faced official pressure not to publish death tolls, says 25 were killed in the restive city of Nasiriyah.
Another two were killed in Baghdad and four in Najaf, where protesters yesterday burned down the Iranian consulate.
