A video purportedly shows forces from Najaf's Provincial Council opening fire on protesters, as they marched towards Ayatollah Sistani's house.
They were marching to raise their demands to him, as the highest religious authority in Najaf, after Sistani promised to avenge those who have been betrayed by the government.
However, he still ordered his protection units to employ force by any means necessary to disperse protesters.
