| MISSAN / Aswat al-Iraq: Thousands of supporters of Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr staged a march in al-Amara on Friday to express backing for the Libyan people, according to the director of Sadr’s office in the city. “The demonstrators were chanting slogans of support for the Libyan people in their upheaval to change Libya’s ruling regime and denouncing the killing of Libyan civilians,” Ta’ama al-Khazaali told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. “The protests in Amara were peaceful and condemned criminal acts perpetrated against the Muslim Libyan people who call for peaceful change of the regime while in the same time denounced any U.S. interference in Libyan affairs,” he added. |
