Gaza Protest in Waset, Iraq
Here is a unique glimpse into a street demonstration in Iraq, as it protests the Israeli attacks on Gaza earlier this year. The demonstration, organized by Iraq Freedom Congress (a political organization in Iraq <www.ifcongress.com/English>), marches to the headquarters of a local politician ("Manager of the Azizya Court") and presents it demands. This is an edited-for-English version of a video produced by Sana TV, which is a production of Iraq Freedom Congress.
