Sadrist protesters withdraw from Iraq's Judiciary after condemnation
Sadrist protesters stormed the Judiciary this morning, raising concerns over stability in Iraq.
Hundreds of Sadrist protesters stormed Iraq's Judicial Council building this morning and set out tents to organize a sit-in. They stormed the parliament building last month and held a sit-in there as well.
Muhammad Salih al-Iraqi — who closely follows Muqtada al-Sadr on Twitter and whose tweets express official Sadrist positions — welcomed the move against the Judiciary, accusing it of being biased against Sadrists.
The protesters in the front of the Judiciary demanded the dissolution of parliament; they also demanded the Sadrist movement determine the largest bloc; a fight against corruption and the corrupt; the public attorney be separate of the Judicial Council; and the depoliticization of the Judiciary.
Sadrists won the largest bloc in the last elections but failed to form a government due to a series of rulings by the Judiciary.
