BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Secretary General of Struggle and Reconstruction MP Hassan al-Sari described the directives of the religious community in Najaf as " a road map to the present crisis", calling to abide by them to end it.

In a statement, received by Aswat al-Iraq, he called all political components for pacification and dialogue.

Iraq is witnessing "one of the most dangerous crises" in its history after 2003, through massive protests that extended to Anbar, Salahal-Din, Ninewa, Kirkuk, Diala and Baghdad, as well as other areas in the country.

The protestors demanded the release of male and female prisoners and detainees and cancellation of terrorism and de-Baathification laws and to rectify the political process in the country.
