People in Baghdad stage protests over Iraq Parl. election

Media sources reported that a large number of people have gathered in front of the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq to protest the results of the parliamentary elections.

A large gathering of protesters has prompted the Iraqi army to deploy heavy military equipment on Al-Kindi Street, where the Federal Supreme Court is located.

It is said that the number of security forces stationed around the Federal Supreme Court has increased due to the increasing number of protesters.

The latest news indicates that the protests against the election results are expanding moment by moment.

A member of the Iraqi Rights Movement said that the news about the results of the Iraqi parliamentary elections is only speculation and not true.

Demonstrators in the Green Zone of Baghdad chanted slogans calling on the Federal Supreme Court to reconsider the results of the parliamentary elections.

Some sources suggest the entrances of the Green Zone have been closed due to the protests.

Protesters held placards declaring that "stolen votes" should be returned to the Iraqi people.

Simultaneously with demonstrations in Baghdad in front of the entrance of the "Green Zone", other cities in the country are witnessing public protests.

The entrances of the education departments in these cities have been closed.

On the other hand, the latest news indicates the widespread deployment of security forces in Baghdad on the eve of the final decision of the federal court on the election results.

Minutes ago, the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq announced that it dismissed complaints seeking the annulment of the election results.
