Baghdad: At least 21 protesters have been killed in demonstrations that swept Iraq's capital and its south on Friday, including eight dead in Baghdad, the Iraqi Human Rights Commission said.
The organisation attributed the deaths to live rounds and wounds sustained by the use of tear gas, said Ali Bayati, one of its members.
