Iraqi President Barham Salih called on protestors in Iraq’s Sulaymaniyah province - angered over unpaid wages - and police to act peacefully, Al-Arabiya TV reported.

“We have been monitoring for days, with great concern, the escalation of events in the city of Sulaymaniyah, including demonstrations accompanied by acts of violence, which led to the injury of a number of citizens and security forces, and a number of buildings were burned and destroyed,” he said.

He added that a peaceful protest is a guaranteed constitutional right that must be respected. He further said that it is the public’s right to demonstrate peacefully and call for their demands, especially those related to securing a decent living for them and their families.
