One protester has died and 11 more were wounded during demonstrations in Iraq's second biggest city Basra on Friday, local security and health sources said.

 

Residents say they have been driven to the streets by corruption and misrule that allowed infrastructure to collapse, leaving no power or safe drinking water in the heat of summer.
