At least 100 arrested in Duhok ahead of protest against government wage delays: lawmaker
2020-05-18
[Rudaw] At least 100 mostly babus government employees, activists, and journalists in Duhok have been arrested by security forces after allegedly organizing a protest against the government’s delay in paying civil servants’ salaries, according to a politician.

Over the last week many have taken to social media calling for an impassioned gathering in downtown Duhok at 3 pm on Saturday against the continued delay of wages from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).

Halz Botani, a member of the Kurdistan Region's parliament for the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU), told Rudaw that of the 150 people who attempted to organize the protest, around 100 were arrested while assembling for the protest at Azadi Park.
