Kirkuk protest organizer Mohammed Nizam detained, family says

Kirkuk, Iraq ·

Security forces detained Mohammed Nizam, a 30-year-old Kirkuk lawyer who led a protest in the city centre last week, a day before residents planned to gather again. His uncle told 964media that Nizam organised Friday's demonstration at the roundabout outside the old governorate building, which drew young people, older residents and women.

Kirkuk is a multi-ethnic city in northern Iraq whose administrative status has been disputed for years between Baghdad, Erbil and Kurdish authorities.
