In turn, the Secretary-General of the "Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq" movement, Qais Khazali, addressed the demonstrators, saying, "Let your message be unified that you took to the streets for Iraq."

Meanwhile, the Head of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri Al-Maliki called on the Coordination Framework and the Sadrist movement to a responsible stance that "absorbs the shock and initiates a serious dialogue," and urged the demonstrators to commit to peace and preserve public property.

On Sunday, the Iraqi coordination framework called on the Iraqi people to demonstrate peacefully to "defend their state," adding that "it continues calling for dialogue with all political forces, especially the brothers in the Sadrist movement," adding, "We see a continuous escalation that has reached the point of calling for a coup against the people, the state, its institutions, and the political process."

In its statement, the framework described the attempt of a coup as "a dangerous matter that brings back to memory the bloody coups that Iraq experienced throughout decades of dictatorship."

This comes after the leader of Iraq's Sadrist movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr, called on his supporters to demonstrate, saying in a statement: "O Iraqi people... you are all at stake," and called the people to demand reform in the country.
