2015–16 Iraqi protests started on 31 July 2015 in Baghdad and most of Iraqi cities, mainly in middle and southern provinces.
30 April 2016 protests
On 30 April 2016, thousands of protesters entered the Green Zone in Baghdad and occupied the Iraqi parliament building. This happened after the Iraqi parliament did not approve new government ministers. The protesters included supporters of Shia cleric Muqtada Al Sadr. Although Iraqi security forces were present, they did not attempt to stop the protesters from entering the parliament building.[2]
