Al-Jazeera correspondent in Iraq said that demonstrators began this morning to come to Tahrir Square, to participate in popular protests calling for reform and fighting corruption.
It is scheduled to hold the Iraqi parliament this afternoon a regular session will be devoted to discuss the draft election law in Iraq, and the law to form a new election commission that is far from representing the main parties in its administration.
This is one of the most important demands of the demonstrators, in order to reform the political system.
A spokesman for the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi armed forces accused what he called "gangs" of using demonstrations to sabotage and burn state institutions, oil installations and citizens' property.
Road closures
On Monday, demonstrators blocked a number of main roads in the capital Baghdad and the southern province of Dhi Qar, according to the correspondent of the island.
Several areas of Basra also witnessed road closures carried out by demonstrators after clashes with security forces in which a number of protesters were killed.
Pictures published by activists showed the closure of the intersection of the education intersection in Basra with burning tires, and the intersection of the bridges of the education district in the city, in addition to the closure of Baghdad Street in central Basra with burning tires and stones, while security forces deployed in the place.
The protests in Baghdad and nine southern Iraqi provinces entered Monday for the second consecutive month, amid security unrest and the loss of dozens of victims.
There have been anti-government protests in Iraq since early October, in which at least 346 people were killed and 15,000 wounded, according to the parliamentary Human Rights Commission, the Human Rights Commission and medical and human rights sources.
