The demonstration began after Friday's prayer, and was called by sheik Hadi al Darraji, who had just finished his sermon in the mosque of al Hikma, in Sadr City quarter. The armed guerrillas of Mahdi, Sadr's movement, started the demonstration along with the members of the new Iraqi police, which hadbecome their ally and even the loudspeakers installed on one of the police cars were used to chant slogans asking the capital punishment for the old rais, called "Haddam", which means destroyer. "The new special laws are welcome, but only provided they serve the restoration of order and not for the arrest of those who have loyally fought against the foreign occupiers," shiek Darraji said speaking before his followers.
