BAGHDAD, Nov 14 (KUNA) -- The Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council announced on Thursday that a total 1,648 detained demonstrators have been set free nationwide.

Earlier in the day, at least one person was killed and dozens wounded in clashes between security forces and protesters in central Baghdad.
Iraq has been witnessing nationwide demonstrations demanding better living conditions and clampdown on corruption. (Pick up previous) ahh.mt
