This is how peaceful demonstators are treated in “liberated” Iraq:

” Iraqi officials say at least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured in a day of violent clashes across the country between security forces and demonstrators.

“At least nine demonstrators were killed in separate clashes in three northern Iraqi cities during what was described as a ‘Day of Rage.’ In the western Anbar province at least two people were killed as security forces and demonstrators battled.”
