Anadolu Agency (3 February 2020)

Ali Jawad 

Iraqi Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s supporters, also known as blue hats, on Monday allegedly opened fire on people protesting against the appointment of Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi as the country’s prime minister.

This came after al-Sadr had asked his supporters to help security forces clear the blocked roads.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that the blue hats opened fire on protesters in Al-Najaf province, southern Iraq. They said that blue hats forcibly dispersed the protesters and reopened the blocked roads.
