Iraq protests expose the crisis in the regime’s integrity People gather to protest against the government due to corruption, unsolved unemployment issue and inadequate public service in Baghdad, Iraq on 2 October 2019 [Murtadha Sudani/Anadolu Agency] October 9, 2019-   The third wave of protests in Iraq, following those in 2015 and 2018, continues to shake the three pillars of the regime — the constitution, electoral law, and an independent judiciary — although protesters’ basic demands are not political. There is, nevertheless, a general conviction that they are impossible to achieve without a profound change in the so-called political process. This is evident in the debate accompanying the demonstrations which have covered the need to review the pillars on which the state’s actions are based, and activate the decisions of the anti-corruption bodies.

Hear Iranian People’s Call for Justice October 8, 2019 Hear Iranian People’s Call for Justice In the summer of 1988, over 30,000 political prisoners were summarily executed throughout Iran, based on a Fatwa (religious decree) issued by Khomeini.

The summer of 2016 began a turning point in the movement seeking justice in efforts to end impunity and prevent the continuation of this cycle which still continue...
