Hundreds of security guards protest in Samawah.

Hundreds of night security guards protested on, Sunday 13 May 2007, in the city center of Samawah, the capital of Al Muthanna province against:

*the reduction of their salaries,
*dismissing some of their colleagues,
*and to settle their unpaid salaries.

Demonstrators marched through the main streets of the town centre and ended the march by picketing the main governorate building, calling on the local authorities, for a fair review of their wages, which have recently been reduced unjustly from 300 thousand dinars to one hundred thousand dinars, and to promptly pay their overdue wages. It is worth to note that night security guards have not been paid for the last three months.
