The General Union of Oil and Gas Workers called on its members and executives to start an open sit-in in all protest squares until the demands of the grassroots movement materialize. It should be recalled that the Union's appeal comes as a result of the effective participation of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Iraq in the protests of the majority of Iraq's regions.
Two days ago, more than 13 demonstrators were killed by bullets and tear gas from the police for a total death toll of 260 since the beginning of the demonstrations.
In this context, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq has revealed that human rights violations, during this second wave of protests, continue in greater stead, according to the report prepared by his office. Human Rights published after a first that covered the protests of the period from 1 to 9 October and published the 22 of the same month.
