Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) continue to arrest prominent figures linked to the Saraya al-Khorasani brigades and Iran, who are accused of attacking civilian activists.
Less than 24 hours after the arrest of Hamid al-Jazairi, deputy commander general of the group, the PFM arrested on Monday 30 members of the Brigades while searching for their Secretary-General Ali Al-Yasiri.
Sources reported that Al-Yasiri “was not present at the Saraya headquarters during the raid launched by PMF security personnel.
“He intended to travel to Syria, but he returned and turned himself over in to the PMF Security Directorate,” the sources added.
