A close relative of Al-Sadr suggests that Friday prayers will be held in the celebration square in the Green Zone
A close associate of religious leader Muqtada al-Sadr suggested this evening, Sunday, the establishment of a unified prayer in the Great Celebrations Square inside the government's Green Zone, next Friday.
"It is possible that Friday prayers will be held in the ceremonial arena, so you have to commit and reflect a beautiful image through organization and discipline," Muhammad Salih al-Iraqi, known as al-Sadr's minister, said in a press statement.
And he called for the necessity of "taking into account the feelings of others who are not affiliated with the Sadrist movement, in order for them to be of help and support for you and for the protests to be public and not private, and to cooperate fully with the security services, preserve public and private properties, not approach residential homes, and perform religious rites outside the parliament building and without addressing matters that some consider sectarian."
Al-Sadr's minister called on all those participating in the sit-ins not to "create a building at all inside the parliament building, to use mobile caravans, and to abide by the cleanliness of Parliament and absolute places."
He also called for "the formation of service committees and periodical guards without using any weapons at all, not issuing individual statements, organizing sit-ins, and preventing women's sit-ins at all."
According to eyewitnesses, a large number of Sadr's followers are now flocking to the sit-in center in the Iraqi parliament building.
Today, the religious leader Muqtada al-Sadr called on the Iraqi clans, security forces, members of the popular mobilization and all segments of society to support the revolutionaries for reform in the sit-in at the headquarters of the Iraqi parliament to save the prestige and dignity of the nation.
On Wednesday and Saturday, Iraqi demonstrators stormed the Green Zone and entered the parliament building, chanting slogans in support of al-Sadr.
The demonstrators denounced the nomination of Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani to head the new Iraqi government.
It is noteworthy that a new government has not yet been formed in Iraq since the parliamentary elections that took place last October due to differences between the political blocs.
