Video .. Thousands of Iraqis demonstrate in Baghdad, Basra and Nasiriyah in defense of their role in the protests

Thousands of Iraqis went out today, Thursday, in the streets of Baghdad, Basra, and Nasiriyah (in the south) to express support for the protests that have been taking place in the country since the beginning of last October.

Participants in the demonstrations carried the flags of Iraq and pictures of girls killed during the protest demonstrations, shouting slogans "in the spirit of blood, we redeem you, Iraq" and "a women revolution ... a peaceful revolution."

Other chants demanded that the demonstrators' demands be fulfilled, the political process be rebuilt, and the formation of a government pave the way for early elections.

The protesters confirmed that they would continue to demonstrate in the squares and provide medical and service assistance to the protesters.

Women and young women marched through the Saadoun tunnel in Baghdad, reaching the main sit-in in Tahrir Square, raising slogans and chanting slogans stressing the role of women in the protests demanding the departure of the political class accused of corruption.

And the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, demanded last Saturday via Twitter not to mix between the sexes. He said that the demonstrators should "observe the legal and social rules of the country as much as possible, not mixing the two sexes in the tents of the sit-in, and clearing the places of protests from the forbidden intoxicants and drugs."

Women and hundreds of female students walked for more than an hour and a half in and around Tahrir Square, chanting slogans defending the role of women and calling for protests to continue, while dozens of young men formed a human chain to protect them from both sides.

One of the signs read, "I am a revolution and the silence of males is a shame", and on the other is "Freedom of a feminist revolution."

The women, some of whom carried the Iraqi flag and flowers chanted, "Where are the millions?"
