The head of the Sadrists in eastern Baghdad district, Salman al-Fraiji, noted that three million inhabitants of Sadr City are presently under siege. They are prevented from leaving and from reaching food supplies. "We will obey the orders of Moqtada al-Sadr but if the violence against the Iraqis continues, if the blood of Iraqis continues to be spilled, the ceasefire will definitely be lifted," he also stated.
