Iraqi Shiite boys take part in a self-flagellation ceremony during a parade ahead of Ashura in Baghdad's northern district of Kadhimiya on November 3, 2014. Iraq has implemented heavy security measures involving tens of thousands of security forces members and allied militiamen to protect Shiites during Ashura. Hundreds of thousands of Shiites will flock to the shrine city of Karbala south of Baghdad for Ashura, which marks the death of Imam Hussein, one of the most revered figures in Shiite Islam.
