Right persons apprehended for burning headquarters of al-Halboosi's party
Shafaq News/ Eight persons are reportedly detained in al-Anbar's Police Department over charges of setting fire to al-Taqaddom (Progress) party headquarters and tearing up its candidates' posters in west al-Anbar.
The movement of the resolved Council of Representatives speaker has secured 41 seats in the Iraqi Parliament hall; only the Sadrist movement clinched more seats (73) and seeks to take over the chair of the Prime Minister.
A source told Shafaq News Agency that arrest warrants against eight persons were issued and executed in al-Rutba sub-district during a demonstration on Thursday's dawn.
Demonstrators took the streets of al-Rutba to protest the remarks a poet unleashed during a ceremony to celebrate Haybat al-Halboosi's victory in al-Karma, east of al-Anbar.
The source hinted that the demonstrations might be incited by political parties that are not satisfied by the results emerging from the ballot boxes.
A local official in al-Anbar said that the demonstration erupted after a poet signaled provoking remarks toward the people of al-Rutba while reciting a poem in a ceremony celebrating Haybat al-Halboosi's win.
The poet, an al-Halboosi himself, said, "ask al-Rutba what did we do..how many beards and mustaches we shaved."
Dignitaries, Sheikhs, and tribesmen from the western sub-district of al-Anbar deemed those remarks "humiliating" and organized a protest in response.
