Protesters rally near Baghdad's Green Zone
Hundreds of Iraqis staged a protest
Baghdad - Arab Today
Hundreds of Iraqis staged a protest outside Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone on Friday.
The protesters took to streets upon a call by influential Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al Sadr, disregarding the Iraqi government's rejection to stage the demonstration.
They demanded measures to eliminate corruption.
Sadr had issued a statement on Thursday saying his movement would ignore the ban but also calling on his supporters to refrain from violence in dealing with the security forces.
Sadr is seen as a nationalist with fewer ties to neighbouring Iran than many of the country's other leading Shia politicians.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
