At least 15 people have been killed and 856 injured in two days of protests across Iraq, a member of the Independent High Commission for Human Rights of Iraq told CNN.

The curfew will remain in place"until further notice.
"The Council stressed that appropriate measures should be taken to protect citizens and public and private properties," the statement said, adding that the government will make all efforts to meet the legitimate demands of the demonstrators. Abdul-Mahdi promised on Tuesday to try to provide jobs to university graduates and said all contracts with foreign companies would stipulate that 50% of the jobs should go to Iraqis.
