Five people arrested over involvement in killing, hanging man in Baghdad
|
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Five people have been arrested over involvement in killing an Iraqi teenager among protesters in central Baghdad, Interior Ministry said.
Interior Ministry Spokesperson Khalid Mahna said police arrested five suspects involved in the incident, describing it as a "criminal act".
Earlier this week, videos went viral on social media showing the body of a teenager being hanged on a traffic light post at Wathba Square in Baghdad, allegedly after being killed by a group of people among protesters.
Reports said that the victim, was under effect of drugs,

when he shot up protesters and killed five people. Protesters later captured and killed him among the crowd.
Gruesome images emerged on social media on Thursday of an individual named by his family as Haytham Ali Ismael being strung up from a set of traffic lights in Baghdad’s Wathba Square, where protesters have been camped out for several weeks.
It was alleged that Ismael had fired on protesters from a rooftop, killing at least five, before being grabbed by the mob.
Relatives of the slain teen insist he did not shoot at protesters.
"The thing is he went out, told them that they should leave because they have girls at home, that it is inappropriate [for them to continue camping in front of his house]," Ismael’s aunt told Rudaw.
"He told them that they are protesters, that they should be protesting in Tahrir Square, not near families," she added.
