There were protests for higher wages in Iraq

Thousands of Iraqi government workers demonstrated in Baghdad to call on the authorities to increase their pay.

Mustafa Al-Zorfi, a member of the planning committee in Baghdad, told the BBC that the purpose of today's protest was to incite the nation's cabinet.

She cast a vote in favor of the committee's decision to raise worker salaries, which was made last year.

According to Al Zorfi, the administration has pledged to hold a vote on the law allowing for pay increases during the session that will take place on Tuesday.

If the government does not vote on the law, he continued, they will take more steps, including going on strike.
