The Foreign Secretary spoke to Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul Mehdi on 9 October to express UK concerns about the disproportionate security response and push for the Government to take action to respond to protesters' legitimate concerns.

We are also working with international partners and the UN to encourage and support the Government of Iraq to take quick and effective action on tackling corruption, creating jobs and improving services, in line with the protestors' legitimate demands.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/11/2019 16:43:42 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
