The United Nations is concerned about the armed response to many casualties in a protest against the Iraqi government Oct. 5 8:24
The UN said that in Iraq in the Middle East, protests against the government continued due to dissatisfaction with the unemployment rate, and more than 30 people were killed in clashes with security forces. “It should be,” he expressed concern about the Iraqi government's response.
In Iraq, protests against the government have spread from the capital Baghdad to local cities, and more than 30 people have been killed in three days due to clashes with security forces and more than 1,000 people have been injured.
On this day, a spokesman at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights issued a statement at the headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, saying, “The security forces are using live ammunition and are putting teardrops at the demonstrators. "The use of force should be exceptional," expressed concerns about the Iraqi government's response.
He warned that the Internet was blocked and confusion continued in a wide area, "it will severely limit the right to access information and will exacerbate tension."
Demonstrations that started with the high unemployment rate in Iraq and dissatisfaction with weak public services are not expected to converge, as they will be held in various locations on the 4th, and there is a possibility that the number of casualties will increase further.
