In the emblematic Tahrir Square, young girls in school uniforms with rucksacks were seen trekking through streets littered with tear gas canisters.

On Saturday, Iraqi President Barham Saleh met with the United Nations' top representative in the country Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert to discuss electoral reform and amendments to the constitution, which dates back to 2005. "The sit-in is ongoing and open until protester demands are met and the reforms promised by the PM are enacted," said MP Salam al-Hadi, a member of Saeroon – an alliance between populist cleric Moqtada al Sadr and Iraq's Communist Party.
Dozens of protesters have died while storming or setting fire to the offices of Asaib Ahl al Haq, the Badr Organisation and others, according to medics and police.
