KARBALA/ Aswat al-Iraq: Sadrist affiliate Ahrar bloc's leading member regarded the call of the Sadrist leader Muqtada al-Sadr to Premier Nouri l-Maliki to visit the demonstrators as a prelude to solve the current crisis.

Jawad al-Hasnawi told Aswat al-Iraq that "it is a reminder to the government not to neglect the demands of the demonstrators".

"Premier Maliki should listen to the demands of the protestors and implement them, because they are within the constitutional contexts".

The Sadrist leader Muqtada l-Sadr issued a statement calling Premier Maliki to visit the demonstrators in their provinces, as calling the demonstrators to receive Maliki.

Since 22 December 2012, Anbar province witnessed massive demonstrations and sit-in, in addition to Ninewa, Salahal-Din, Diala, Kirkuk and Baghdad demanding the release of innocent detainees and prisoners, while others called for toppling Maliki's government.

Karbala, center of the province, lies 108 km south west the capital, Baghdad.
