Basra activist dies day after shot by unknown gunmen: report
|
[Rudaw] A prominent activist in Basra died on Sunday after being shot by unknown button men the day before.
Sheikh Wisam Ghazrawi
was an outspoken activist in the troubled province. He was fatally maimed in front of his house on Saturday.
Ghazrawi had reportedly called on protesters to take up arms in order to force local authorities and the government in Baghdad to implement their demands, Iraq’s Shafaq news reported.
He is alleged to have been one of the people behind the burning of the Iranian consulate in the city as well as offices of other political parties during protests this summer.
| That would expain why someone decided he needed to be shot... |
Basra was rocked by waves of deadly protests this year driven by public furor over corruption, crumbling infrastructure, contaminated water, and a lack of jobs.
In late September, Suad al-Ali, another activist involved in the protests, was also rubbed out. She had been leading the al-Weed International Organization in Basra. No arrests have been made in the case.
