Iraq relieves the national curfew

Xinhua News Agency, Baghdad, August 30 (Reporter Fan Shuai Shuai Dong Yalei) The Iraq joint action command issued a statement on the afternoon of the 30th, announcing the cancellation of the national curfew.

This statement was issued by the supporters of his supporters in Shiite, Iraqi Shiite, and issued it after his supporters stopped protest and withdrew from the capital Baghdad's "Green Area" within an hour.

An official who did not want to disclose the name of the Iraqi military told Xinhua News Agency that from the 29th to 30th, the protests that occurred in Baghdad and the conflict caused by it had killed 22 people and injured more than 200.

Recently, Sader has been calling for the dissolution of the National Assembly and re -election to break the long -term stalemate for several months. On the 29th, he issued a post on social media, announcing that he would withdraw from politics, and the relevant institutions of the "Sader Movement" led by his leader will also be closed.

After Sader made this statement, a large number of supporters in Baghdad pushed the roadblocks in the Baghdad "Green Area" and forced the government building, including the Republic's Palace. Subsequently, the Iraqi joint operation headquarters announced that all provinces across the country began to implement a curfew. Bagida began a curfew at 3:30 pm that day, and the vehicles and residents were prohibited from going out.

In October last year, Iraq held a national parliament election. Among the total 329 seats, the "Sader Movement" won 73 seats and became the largest party in parliament. On June 12 this year, because of failure to form a majority of government, the "Sader Movement" member resigned collectively. Due to dissatisfaction with the new Prime Minister's candidates proposed by Sader's political opponents, since the end of July, Sader's supporters have launched demonstrations in many provinces in Iraq, calling on "anti -corruption" and "political reform".
