[Iran Press TV] At least 31 people have been injured in fresh festivities that erupted between protesters and security forces in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

Three of the injured were shot at with live bullet near Sulaymaniyah University, located 260 kilometers (161 miles) north of Storied Baghdad,

a Press TV correspondent reported on Tuesday.

A number of journalists have also been incarcerated.

The festivities came after around 100 people were maimed in Peeramard Street in the city on Monday.
