Yesterday's Protests in Iraq

It is noteworthy that yesterday, popular movements began in several areas in Basra Governorate to protest the elections' process and results.

Yesterday, the Iraqi Electoral Commission said that "receipt of appeals will continue for 3 days; then, they will be considered by the Board of Commissioners for 7 days, and then by the judiciary for 10 days," noting that "the results of the appeals will be announced, and the names of the winning representatives will follow.

For his part, the head of Iraq's Hezbollah Brigades security apparatus, Abou Ali Al-Askari, considered that the elections that took place in Iraq last week were fraudulent. Al-Askari demanded that Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi be put on trial for his actions, the latest of which "is high treason for rigging the elections."
