Iraq: Death Toll in Anti-Government Protests Rise to 319
--------------------------------------------------------

In Iraq, the death toll from ongoing anti-government protests has risen
to at least 319 people, with another nearly 15,000 people injured.
That's according to the Iraqi Parliamentary Human Rights Committee,
which has been tracking the government's bloody repression against the
protests in Baghdad, Basra, Nasiriyah and other cities. The
demonstrations erupted over a month ago over unemployment, corruption
and the lack of basic services such as water and electricity.
