Scores of Iraqis injured in anti-government protests in Baghdad

Teargas and stun grenades used by security forces as unrest over poverty and corruption flares up in the capital and other cities

Iraqi security forces have fired teargas and stun grenades to disperse stone-throwing protesters in clashes that wounded scores of people near Baghdad's Tahrir Square, where hundreds marked the anniversary of anti-government unrest in 2019.

At least 86 people were wounded on Saturday, about half of them members of the security forces, and 38 protesters were hit by rubber bullets.
