Friday's protests turned into a clash later with the security forces outside the Green Zone, which houses some of the main government offices and foreign embassies.The clash left two protesters killed and dozens of protesters and security members wounded, according to official figures.In the parliamentary elections on October 10, the Sadrist Movement, led by prominent Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, took the lead with more than 70 seats, while the al-Fatah (Conquest) Coalition garnered 17 seats compared with 47 in the 2018 elections.Political parties unsatisfied with the results said the elections were manipulated and that they would not accept the "fabricated results".
