(27 Oct 2019) Police from the counter-terrorism service (CTS) were deployed in Baghdad on Sunday, as anti-government protests entered a third day.
Iraq's semi-official human rights commission said at least 63 protesters were killed in two days of anti-government rallies in the capital and southern cities.
The Iraq High Commission for Human Rights said on Saturday the most protesters killed were in the southern city of Nasiriyah, where 15 died.
At least 10 were killed in the capital, according to the commission, which said more than 2,500 protesters had so far been injured.
Protests resumed in Iraq after a wave of anti-government protests earlier this month were violently put down.
It comes after at least 149 people were killed in a week of demonstrations earlier in October.
