We are deeply concerned about the violence and the news reporting excessive
use of force against peaceful protestors during the demonstrations, which
resumed in Baghdad and southern provinces of Iraq.
We are extremely saddened by the high number of deaths and injuries during
the events.
We hope that favorable conditions will be swiftly established to meet the
legitimate demands of the Iraqi people, as well as to implement reforms
that would ensure peace and stability in the country.
We wish Allah’s mercy upon our Iraqi brothers and sisters who lost their
lives, and speedy recovery to the injured ones.
