Iraqi security forces use water cannons to quell unemployment protests
[Rudaw] Protestors demanding government action on postgraduate unemployment were hosed down with Iraqi security force water cannons on Wednesday, in an act condemned by a national human rights...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... commission as an act "against freedom of expression."
