{Baghdad: Al Furat News} A spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Yahya Rasoul, today, Monday, issued a statement regarding the assault that occurred to the demonstrators who deserved the salaries of Rafha who were prevented from entering Baghdad.
“The security forces are committed to protecting the constitutional right to peaceful demonstration, and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces will not fail to open an investigation into any attack against peaceful demonstrators,” Rasul said in a statement received by {Al Furat News}.
He added: “On Sunday, our security forces prevented some buses that did not adhere to the procedures of the Supreme Committee for Health and National Safety regarding the Corona pandemic, because they were crowded with protesters heading to Baghdad, and they refused to comply with procedures intended to protect them and not contribute to spreading the infection.”
He continued: “But unfortunately, some of the demonstrators attacked the security forces that were present to protect them, and attempted to cross by force, so the security forces did not repel them, and the weapons and live ammunition were not used as rumored, and no victim was killed, praise be to God.”
