Iraq Closer to Identifying Protester Killers
The article focuses on the recent statements made by Hadi al-Amiri, head of the Badr Organization, regarding the October 2019 protests in Iraq. He claimed that the resistance stood against sedition and paid a bloodshed for that, understood as an acknowledgment of the role played by armed factions in killing protesters. Experts and politicians have confirmed that al-Amiri indirectly admitted that armed factions, including Hezbollah Brigades, were responsible for the deaths of more than 600 protesters due to the use of live bullets and gas, highlighting their involvement in suppressing the demonstrators. This is considered a crime against humanity and a violation of the Iraqi constitution. International organizations have called for investigations into these statements, while officials deny that the factions are involved. Others assert that their involvement is well-known, and some aim to use these comments to pressure the government before establishing state control over weapons.
