Investigations into violence against protesters in Dhi Qar still underway
Investigations into violence during
protests which led to a number of deaths and injuries have been completed in
all provinces except for Dhi Qar, which witnessed some of the worst violence,
according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
The agency said that the
investigations have not yet been completed in Dhi Qar, a governorate in the
south of Iraq where violent clashes occurred in the provincial capital
Nasiriyah, as they were pending further statements from the officers involved.
The parliamentary investigation into
the violence will be submitted to the Prime Minister, added the agency.
The Security and Defense Committee
in the Iraqi parliament said that it will reveal the details of what happened
in Dhi Qar to the public, according to Muhammad Reza, the head of the
committee.
INA reported that the results of
investigations into the Dhi Qar Governorate events will be submitted to the
judiciary.
The government launched the
investigation into violence against protesters on Nasiriyah on November, 29,
after a particularly bloody weekend.
