news source /noon agency

Today, Monday, a security source said that security forces used live bullets to disperse the demonstrators in the Green Zone in the center of the capital, Baghdad.

This comes in conjunction with the attempts of the anti-riot forces to expel the Sadrist movement's demonstrators from inside the government palace (the second presidency to fall into the hands of the Sadrists after Parliament), using batons, water and tear gas canisters, as well as fire extinguishers (foam).

Earlier today, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, announced his retirement from political work and the closure of all political, media and social institutions associated with him, and stressed his followers not to use his name or the name of the movement in any political or media activity.

As a result, the sit-in of the Sadrist movement's supporters in the Green Zone turned into storming the Republican Palace in the Green Zone and declaring a general mobilization.
