Iraqi protesters brace for more violence in wake of assassinations
The Iraq prime minister has vowed "by the blood of the martyr" to realize justice for activists who have been murdered.
Violence against protesters in Iraq has been rising sharply in recent days, especially after Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi traveled to Washington for the second round of the country's strategic dialogue with the United States.
Immediately after returning from the United States, Kadhimi traveled to Basra with a number of his ministers to follow up on the rising violence against protesters in the oil-rich southern province.
