Three anti-government protesters were shot dead and at least 58 others were wounded in Baghdad and southern Iraq on Saturday, security and medical officials said, as Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi formally submitted his resignation to parliament.
Lawmakers were expected to either vote or accept outright Abdul-Mahdi's resignation letter in a parliamentary session Sunday, two members of parliament said.
The prime minister announced Friday that he would hand parliament his resignation amid mounting pressure from mass anti-government protests, a day after more than 40 demonstrators were killed by security forces in Baghdad and southern Iraq. The announcement also came after Iraq's top Shiite cleric withdrew his support for the government in a weekly sermon.
The formal resignation came after an emergency cabinet session earlier in which ministers approved the document and the resignation of key staffers, including Abdul-Mahdi's chief of staff.
Caretaker cabinet
In a pre-recorded speech, Abdul-Mahdi addressed Iraqis, saying that following parliament's recognition of his stepping down, the cabinet would be demoted to caretaker status, unable to pass new laws and make key decisions.
FILE - Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi speaks in Baghdad, Oct. 23, 2019.
Existing laws do not provide clear procedures for members of parliament to recognize Abdul-Mahdi's resignation, Iraqi officials and experts said. Cabinet bylaws allow the prime minister to tender his resignation to the president, but there is no specific law that dictates the course of action should this be tasked to parliament.
``There is a black hole in the constitution. It says nothing about resignation,'' said lawmaker Mohamed al-Daraji.
There are two main laws that could direct parliament's course of action, he added: Either they vote Abdul-Mahdi out in a vote of no-confidence, per Article 61 of the constitution, or resort to Article 81, reserved for times of crisis when there is a vacancy in the premiership, shifting those duties temporarily to the president.
``My understanding is this will be taken care of per Article 61,'' he said.
A vote of no confidence would demote Abdul-Mahdi's cabinet to caretaker status for 30 days, in which parliament's largest political bloc would have to propose a new candidate.
This is where the real problem comes in, experts and officials said.
Product of alliance
Abdul-Mahdi's nomination as prime minister was the product of a provisional alliance between parliament's two main blocs — Sairoon, led by cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and Fatah, which includes leaders associated with the paramilitary Popular Mobilization Units headed by Hadi al-Amiri.
In the May 2018 election, neither coalition won a commanding plurality that would have enabled it to name the premier alone. To avoid political crisis, Sairoon and Fatah forged a precarious union.
``Now we are back to the question of who is the largest bloc that can name the next prime minister,'' said one official close to the State of Law party, led by former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. ``If they don't come to an agreement before the 30-day deadline, then we might have to go to the Supreme Court.''
Officials traded theories as to why Abdul-Mahdi chose to tender his resignation through parliament, with some speculating it was to buy more time or avoid the risk of a vacuum should the post remain empty. Abdul-Mahdi had alluded to the challenges faced by political parties to find consensus candidates, saying in earlier statements he would step down once an alternative candidate was found.
In his speech, addressing these speculations, Abdul-Mahdi said he was acting on the advice of Iraq's chief Supreme Court judge.
``The perspective I received from the chief of the federal Supreme Court is that the resignation should be submitted to those who voted the government in,'' he said.
Low expectations
Abdul-Mahdi listed his government's accomplishments, saying it had come to power during difficult times. ``Not many people were optimistic that this government would move forward,'' he said.
The government, he said, had managed to push through important job-creating projects, improve electricity generation and strengthen ties with neighboring countries.
``But unfortunately, these events took place,'' he said, referring to the mass protest movement that engulfed Iraq on October 1. ``We need to be fair to our people and listen to them, where we made mistakes, where we did not make up for the mistakes of previous governments.''
Demonstrators help a young man who was hit by a stone during anti-government protests in Baghdad, Iraq, Nov. 30, 2019.
At least 400 people have died since the leaderless uprising shook Iraq, with thousands of Iraqis taking to the streets in Baghdad and the predominantly Shiite southern part of the country. They have decried corruption, poor services and a lack of jobs, and they have called for an end to the post-2003 political system.
Security forces have used live fire, tear gas and sound bombs to disperse crowds, leading to heavy casualties.
Three protesters were killed and 24 wounded in the holy city of Najaf in southern Iraq on Saturday as security forces used live rounds to disperse them from a key mosque, security and hospital officials said.
Bridge battles
In Baghdad, at least 11 protesters were wounded near the strategic Ahrar Bridge when security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas to prevent demonstrators from removing barricades. The protesters are occupying part of three strategic bridges — Ahrar, Sink and Jumhuriya — in a standoff with security forces. All three lead to the heavily fortified Green Zone, the seat of Iraq's government.
In the southern city of Nasiriyah, security forces used live fire and tear gas to repel protesters on two main bridges, the Zaitoun and the Nasr, which lead to the city center. Heavy fighting has taken place in Nasiriyah in recent days, with at least 31 protesters killed.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
Abdul-Mahdi referred to the rising death toll in his speech.
``We did our best to stop the bloodshed, and at the time we made brave decisions to stop using live ammunition, but unfortunately when clashes happen there will be consequences,'' he said.

A long-detained opposition leader in Iran on Saturday compared a bloody crackdown on those protesting government-set gasoline prices rising under its supreme leader to soldiers of the shah gunning down demonstrators in an event that led to the Islamic Revolution.
The comments published by a foreign website represent some of the harshest yet attributed to Mir Hossein Mousavi, a 77-year-old politician whose own disputed election loss in 2009 led to the widespread Green Movement protests that security forces also put down.
Mousavi's remarks not only compare Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the toppled monarch whom Khamenei to this day refers to as a tyrant. It also suggests the opposition leader views the demonstrations that began Nov. 15 and the crackdown that followed as a potentially similar last-straw moment for Iran's Shiite theocracy as the 1978 killings represented for the shah.
"It shows people's frustration with the country's situation. It has a complete resemblance to the brutal killing of people on the bloody date Sept. 8, 1978," Mousavi said, according to the statement published by the Kaleme website long associated with him. "The assassins of the year of 1978 were representatives of a non-religious regime, but the agents and shooters in November 2019 were representatives of a religious government."
There was no immediate response from Iranian officials nor state media, which has been barred from showing Mousavi's image for years.
The protests that struck some 100 cities and towns across Iran beginning Nov. 15 came after Iran raised minimum gasoline prices by 50%. The subsidy cuts, which the government said would help fund cash handouts to the poor, come as Iran's economy suffers under crushing U.S. sanctions following President Donald Trump's unilateral withdrawal from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers.
Iranians immediately began demonstrating and protests quickly turned violent, seeing gas stations and banks attacked. Online videos purport to show Iranian security forces shooting at demonstrators.
The scale of the gasoline price demonstrations remains unclear even today as Iran so far has not offered nationwide statistics for the number of people arrested, injured or killed in the protests. Amnesty International believes the protests and the security crackdown killed at least 161 people.
One Iranian lawmaker said he thought that over 7,000 people had been arrested, though Iran's top prosecutor disputed the figure without offering his own. The country's interior minister said as many as 200,000 people took part in the demonstrations. Iran blocked access to the wider internet for a week, further shielding its response from the world's view.
Mousavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, remain under house arrest in their home down an alleyway near Khamenei's official residence in Tehran. However, the Kaleme website occasionally publishes statements from Mousavi, who earlier served as Iran's prime minister before the position was eliminated in 1989.
The statement Saturday saw Mousavi compare November's crackdown to "Black Friday," a seminal moment in Iran's revolution. That September day in 1978, soldiers opened fire on demonstrators in Jaleh Square.
How many the shooting killed remains in dispute today, with figures running anywhere from 86 to 4,000. However, historians mark the day as the point of no return for the fatally ill shah. Mass protests and strikes followed. The shah fled Iran in January 1979 and by the next month, the revolution took hold.
In his statement, Mousavi offered his condolences to those slain in the November crackdown and warned "this wound on the nation's body and soul" would not heal until there are public trials of their killers.
"The bullying and talking about how we are in the middle of a world war are not a convincing answer for the people and it would not heal the people's wounds," Mousavi said, referring to tensions with the U.S. "It would be enough that the system just think about the consequences of the Jaleh Square assassinations."
Mousavi is not the only one to compare the November crackdown to the time of the shah, however. Days earlier, lawmaker Mohammad Golmoradi at the Iranian parliament got pulled away after some news websites reported he criticized President Hassan Rouhani over the crackdown. Golmoradi's area, Mahshar in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province, saw security forces violently put down protests, activists say.
"What did you do that the shah didn't?" Golmoradi reportedly asked.

Thousands of Pakistani students marched in demonstrations spanning the country Friday demanding the right to once again form student unions, which was taken away in 1984 by military dictator Zia ul-Haq.
The march in dozens of cities, backed by parents of students and civil society activists, received messages of support from several political leaders.
"The spirit of activism and yearning for peaceful democratic process from a new generation of students is truly inspiring," tweeted Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, son of slain prime minister Benazir Bhutto and the current leader of the Pakistan People's Party.
He added that his mother's efforts to lift the ban were thwarted in order to "depoliticize society." In 1989, Bhutto reversed the ban, but her decision was challenged in court.
Lawyer and human rights activist Jibran Nasir said the Supreme Court in 1993 ruled that the ban on political activities on campus should be subject to periodic review, which never happened.
A senior leader of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek e-Insaaf party, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, also tweeted in favor of the march.
"I fully support Restoration of students unions, ban on students unions is anti democratic," he said.
Students in Islamabad said they welcomed his tweet but wished his government would follow it up with legislation to help them.
Students shout slogans during a demonstration demanding for reinstatement of student unions, education fee cuts and batter education facilities, in Islamabad on Nov. 29, 2019.
Students who want admission in Pakistani colleges and universities have to sign an affidavit, along with their parents that says the student cannot participate in any mobilization or political activity on campus.
Writing on the history and impact of the ban in the English language newspaper Dawn, political activist Ammar Lashari said it suffocated debate.
"Gradually, from the charged campus debates that had once taken place about the education system, economics, politics and governance, the sterile campus discourse that remained became limited to questions of morality and culture, fueled by narratives of civilizational clash in the age of the War on Terror and curricula filled with militarism and religious nationalism," he wrote.
Authorities, he argued, achieved what they intended — docile student bodies and depoliticized campuses.
Former student leader turned politician Pervez Rasheed, who belongs to the opposition party Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz, agreed with Lashari's analysis.
"Most of the political leaders who have opposed Marshall Law or dictatorships got their training from student politics," he said.
Remembering how vibrant campuses were during his time as a student in late 60s and early 70s, he described how students received first-hand training in democracy when competing candidates for a union post had to argue their case in front of potential student voters who would then elect the person they deemed best.
While unions are banned in Pakistan, student wings of political parties are still allowed. Describing the difference between the two, student activist Comrade Minhaj said it was the same as the difference between a political party and a parliament.
"In a union, people belonging to different political parties, different ideologies, whether from the right or left, get elected and work together," he said.
Friday's march was organized by the Student Action Committee, a newfound umbrella group of left wing, progressive student groups. Students belonging to a right wing student group seemed to stay away in some cities, like the capital, Islamabad, but showed up in others, like Lahore.
A senior leader of Islami Jamiat e-Taliba, the student wing of the Islamist political party Jamaat e-Islami, said his organization was never invited. However, he expressed hope that in the future the groups could work together.
"We have ideological differences, but we can stand together for common student issues, like restoration of student unions, reduction in fees, and correcting mismanagement of universities," Muhammad Aamir said.

【Move to another page】 Quote https://ift.tt/2QWRRi1 Nigeria's Progress Slow in Fight Against Gender-Based Violence
Nigerian authorities this week launched the first nationwide register of sex offenders and held a procession in Abuja to raise awareness of and work to prevent violence against women. While they welcomed these as steps forward, women's rights activists and victims of gender-based violence note Nigeria has a poor record of prosecution.
An event Monday in Abuja that marked the start of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence kicked off with a candlelight procession for victims at the National Centre for Women Development.
Events in Nigeria are coinciding with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, an annual international campaign coordinated each year by the Center for Women's Global Leadership at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Earlier on Monday, Nigerian authorities launched the first nationwide register of sex offenders to better track perpetrators.
'Name-and-shame policy'
The anonymity the online register affords victims is a major improvement on tracking offenders, said Julie Okah-Donli, director general of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons.
"With the sex offenders register, it's a name-and-shame policy," she said. " ... It's very important, because you have schools recruiting teachers, and houses recruiting helpers and drivers. So you have to be sure you're not recruiting a rapist or a pedophile."
Nigeria's Progress Slow in Fight Against Gender-Based Violence video player.
According to the U.N. children's fund, UNICEF, one in four Nigerian girls is sexually abused before age 18, and a majority of offenders are never prosecuted. With little faith of getting justice, most victims of sexual violence are often too afraid of stigma to report the crime.
But that tide turned after hundreds of protesters in May marched against the police for detaining 65 women for alleged prostitution and then assaulting and raping a number of them.
Mary Ekpere-Eta, director general of the National Centre for Women Development, wants tougher penalties for offenders.
Victims often remain silent
"It is unfortunate that the custodians of the law, like the security officers, could get involved in such acts," she said. "It's very unfortunate, and I think that the law should be stiffened to ensure that such people are brought to [justice]. Our judiciary process is slow, and judgments are not obtained on time, and because of a lack of evidence, at times, it still boils down that the victims are not speaking out."
Nigerian police have said they are investigating the allegations and have vowed to pursue prosecutions. But police themselves have been accused of committing violence against women on the streets and in clubs at night.
Dorothy Njemanze, a victim of sexual assault, recalled one experience in 2015 that occurred as she was on her way to host an evening event.
"Before I knew what was happening, people approached me, and I was given a beating," she said, "and in the process, a man put his hand in my trousers."
Njemanze was unable to get justice in Nigeria, so she took her case to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court of Justice. The court in 2017 ruled in her favor and ordered the Nigerian state to pay Njemanze $50,000 in compensation.
But while the ruling was considered a landmark judgment, Nigerian authorities have yet to pay her.

China summoned the U.S. ambassador in Beijing Thursday to "strongly protest" President Donald Trump's signing of bills on Hong Kong's human rights.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng told Ambassador Terry Branstad the move constituted "serious interference in China's internal affairs" and described the action as a "serious violation of international law," a statement from the foreign ministry said. He urged Washington to refrain from implementing the bills to "avoid further damage" to U.S.-China relations.
President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Sunrise, Fla., Nov. 26, 2019.
Trump Wednesday signed two separate bills backing pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong, despite a trade deal in the balance and threats from Beijing.
The House and Senate passed both bills last week nearly unanimously.
One law requires the State Department to certify annually that China allows Hong Kong enough autonomy to guarantee its favorable trading status. It threatens sanctions on Chinese officials who do not.
The second bill bans the export of tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and other non-lethal ammunition to Hong Kong police.
It was not immediately clear if Trump's decision might disrupt negotiations at easing the bilateral trade dispute. China's foreign ministry said it will take "firm countermeasures" if the United States keeps interfering in Chinese affairs.
Hong Kong's government expressed "extreme regret," saying the U.S. moves sends the "wrong message" to the protesters.
But Trump, appearing on the U.S. cable news network Fox News late Tuesday, called Chinese President Xi Jinping "a friend of mine. He's an incredible guy."
"I signed these bills out of respect for President Xi, China and the people of Hong Kong," Trump said in a later statement. "They are being enacted in the hope that leaders and representatives of China and Hong Kong will be able to amicably settle their differences, leading to long-term peace and prosperity for all."
Trump had twice called the large street protests in Hong Kong "riots" — a word the protesters say plays into the hands of Chinese authorities.
But Trump took credit for thwarting Beijing's threat to send in 1 million soldiers to put down the marches by saying such a move would have a "tremendous negative impact" on trade talks.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong police entered Polytechnic University on Thursday after a two-week siege and said they were searching for evidence and dangerous items such as petrol bombs, according to the assistant commissioner of the police.
Police officials said they were not searching for any protesters that may be still holed up on campus.
Protests erupted in Hong Kong in June over the local government's plans to allow some criminal suspects to be extradited to the Chinese mainland.
Hong Kong withdrew the bill in September, but the street protests have continued, with the demonstrators fearing Beijing is preparing to water down Hong Kong's democracy and autonomy, nearly 30 years before the ex-British colony's "special status" expires
Some of the protests have turned violent, with marchers throwing gasoline bombs at police, who have responded with live gunfire.

==History== Barnard was moved by the unexpected 1898 death of [[Anton Seidl]], the 47-year-old Hungarian-born conductor of the [[Metropolitan Opera]] in New York City. He modeled a series of clay sketches on the themes of life, death and religion, and incorporated them into what became the ''Urn of Life''.

【Move to another page】 Quote https://ift.tt/35J5i9r TikTok Apologizes for Removing Video on Muslims in China
Social media app TikTok apologized to a user Thursday for removing a video that criticized China's treatment of Muslims, blaming a "human moderation error" and saying the images had been restored within less than an hour.
The controversy over the video, viewed 1.6 million times, comes as TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, faces an inquiry by a U.S. national security panel over its handling of personal data, while U.S. lawmakers fear it may be censoring politically sensitive content.
In the video she posted last week, the user, who identifies herself as Feroza Aziz, gave a tutorial on eyelash curling, while talking about how Muslims were being treated and saying she wanted to spread awareness of the situation.
But on Twitter this week she said she had been blocked from posting on TikTok for a month, and Wednesday posted that her viral video had been taken down, only to be restored later.

TikTok statement
The video was offline for 50 minutes, TikTok said on its website.
"We would like to apologize to the user for the error on our part," said Eric Han, the app's U.S. head of safety. "Due to a human moderation error, the viral video from Nov. 23 was removed. It's important to clarify that nothing in our community guidelines precludes content such as this video, and it should not have been removed."
The TikTok user did not immediately respond to requests from Reuters for additional comment.
China's foreign ministry said it had no specifics of the case, when queried by Reuters about the incident Wednesday.
But it added that it required Chinese firms to operate in a way that respected international norms and local laws and regulations, and hoped that relevant countries also provided a fair and non-discriminatory environment.
TikTok is not available in China, but ByteDance has a domestic version called Douyin.
Uighurs
The user did not mention Uighurs in the video, but said later on Twitter she had been referring to the minority ethnic group.
United Nations experts and rights groups estimate more than a million Uighurs and members of other ethnic groups have been detained in camps in China's far western region of Xinjiang, which has triggered international condemnation.
China says the camps are vocational training centers to impart new skills and help root out and prevent extremism.
ByteDance has stepped up efforts to shield TikTok, popular with U.S. teenagers and those in their 20s, from much of its Chinese operations, Reuters reported Thursday.
In a timeline on its blog post, TikTok said it had blocked another account set up by Aziz that had posted an image of Osama Bin Laden, which violated its content policies regarding "terrorist imagery."
On Monday, it enforced a device ban on accounts associated with violations. This affected the new account from which Aziz had posted the eyelash curling video and sent from the same device, it said.
It said it had decided to override the device ban and was directly contacting her to do so.
Aziz confirmed on Twitter that TikTok had restored her account but said other past videos had been deleted.
"Do I believe they took it away because of a unrelated satirical video that was deleted on a previous deleted account of mine? Right after I finished posting a three-part video about the Uyghurs? No," she posted on Twitter.
