A wounded protester is carried to receive first aid during clashes with security forces on Rasheed Street in Baghdad, Iraq. November 28, 2019.
Demonstrators had been blocking Nasr Bridge leading to the city centre for several days. Security forces moved in late Wednesday to open the main thoroughfare. Thousands of Iraqis marched in a funeral procession defying a curfew imposed earlier to mourn victims of the crackdown.
