On the other side, security sources informed Aswat al-Iraq that "no request was submitted for the demonstration."
"We will not object to peaceful demonstrations, provided the organizers pledge not to enter into chaos, as well as highlighting its start, and gathering location, in order to provide the security necessary for their protection", the source added.
