This picture taken on November 28, 2020 shows a view of people cleaning up at a protest site in Habboubi Square in Iraq's southern city of Nasiriyah. Anti-government protesters defied lockdowns and the threat of violence to demonstrate on November 28 in several Iraqi cities. In the southern hotspot of Nasiriyah, anti-government activists accused supporters of populist Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr of shooting at them and torching their tents in their main gathering place of Habboubi Square late the day before. Nasiriyah was a major hub for the protest movement that erupted last year against a government seen by demonstrators as corrupt, inept and beholden to neighbouring Iran.
