Shafaq News / The leader of the League of the Righteous, Qais al-Khazali attacked  on Thursday "the absence of the law and the weakness of the security services."

Al-Khazali wondered in a tweet, "How long will the chaos, the absence of law, the weak security services, the spread of weapons, and the spread of dirty militias is going to take?"

"No for arms, no for dirty militia, yes for arms inventory and yes for the security services,” he added.

On Wednesday, the UN mission to Iraq, "UNAMI", said that militias targeted and kidnapped prominent activists in the Iraqi demonstrations.

In its third report on the protests in Iraq released yesterday, the mission said it had received credible information that demonstrators and prominent activists had been targeted and arrested by security forces and groups described as "militia."

"Credible information also indicates that security forces arrested people from their homes and their vehicles and held them in solitary confinement during the investigation, and their detention may have been on grounds of national security," the mission added.

On the basis of this information, the mission added, "groups that have been described as" militia "have kidnapped at least five prominent activists and demonstrators in Baghdad and held them in solitary confinement in unofficial detention sites for several days while being interrogated."
