During the following day, large protests take place in several regions all over Iraq. The government imposes a nation-wide curfew and suspends all internet providers, with exception of regions with a predominantly Kurdish population. State security forces use tear gas as well as live ammunition against the demonstrators: several dozen killed and hundreds more injured. Armed militias continue to attack people on the streets and in their homes: Activists Hussein Adel and Sarah Taleb, a couple from Basra, are killed in their home.
