In Sadr City, 1,500 Iraqi citizens participate in peaceful prayer demonstration
Multi-National Division – Baghdad Public Affairs Office
BAGHDAD – Approximately 1,500 Iraqi citizens attended a peaceful prayer demonstration in the Sadr City district of Baghdad, June 13.
The demonstration, which occurred around noon, was believed to be in response to Muqtada al-Sadr's May 27 directive for his followers to conduct peaceful protests of the status of forces agreement being negotiated between the governments of Iraq and the U.S. after Friday noon prayers.
The number of protestors has decreased dramatically over the past three weeks. About 10,000 protestors attended the first protest May 30, followed by approximately 3,000, June 6.
