BAGHDAD, Oct 25 (KUNA) -- The death toll from clashes between Iraqi security forces and anti-government protestors increased to 30 people, with over 2,312 wounded.
According to a statement by the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights (IHCHR) late Friday, the victims included nine deaths in Maysan, the same in Dhi Qar, eight in Baghdad, three in Basra and one in Muthanna.
