BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: A number of humanitarian and civil society organizations have called for a demonstration against the visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Baghdad, considering the visit as a provocative act.

 

"The demonstration on Nov 2 will be a strong voice to boycott the visit, so our organization is calling all Iraqis to take part in it, as the visit aims to interfere in Iraq's affairs," Ahl al-Kheir humanitarian organization said in a statement.

 

"Its weird that the Iraqi government invites the Iranian president to partake in an anti-terrorism conference," it added.

 

Reporters Without Borders also called on all political parties, Iraqi people to participate in the protest, considering Ahmadinejad's presence in Baghdad and his participation in the conference as a violation of all international laws.
