Peaceful Protests Across Iraq

Desperately seeking freedom and a better future, Iraqis by the thousands are bravely protesting.

Unlike last week when at least 12 peaceful protesters were killed by government forces, no-one was killed yesterday.

These demonstrators oppose the American occupation and are against a government kept in power by the Americans, which has been unable to even provide the most basic of services such as electricity and clean water.

Unlike the protests in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, in which media coverage is heavy and personal stories are told, there is little coverage of the Iraq protests in America.
